United Airlines NYC Half Marathon 2024

£190 per person

There are three airports in New York. JFK, Newark and La Guardia. Las Guardia is the closest in distance to the city center, however international flights usually land in JFK or Newark.

The City’s fleet of yellow taxicabs and green Boro Taxis are licensed and regulated by the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission. Grabbing a cab can be ideal when tired feet, heavy luggage or shopping bags weigh you down.

Public buses are a scenic way to see the City and reach destinations not convenient to a subway stop. It’s also worth noting that mass transit is central to New York City’s efforts to become more environmentally friendly, and a growing number of NYC’s buses are hybrid-electric models.

The easiest and quickest way to travel around NYC is by public subway train. Riding the subway is also a fantastic way to feel like a local during your stay in New York.

A new iconic course was set in 2018 and was an instant hit with all! Starting in Prospect Park, in Brooklyn, on Flatbush Avenue, you will head north before crossing over the Manhattan Bridge into lower Manhattan. Next, you will pass through the Lower East Side, before heading north on the FDR drive where you will be greeted with spectacular views of the Brooklyn and Queens skylines. You will approach the halfway point near East 42nd Street, and pass the United Nations building, before taking a turn towards Grand Central Terminal and Bryant Park. You will then head up Seventh Avenue before passing by 1000 children running through Times Square. Finally you will enter Central Park, and head north to 102nd Street Cross Drive. The crowd support will be incredible, as you make your final turn south on West Drive, and finish in style in the heart of the city, Central Park.

Runners must collect their bib at the expo before the race, you must bring photo ID and your confirmation to the expo. You must do this yourself in person, we can’t do it for you and no numbers will be available on the day.

The New York half marathon has a time limit of three hours. Participants that cannot maintain a pace of 13:45 throughout the race will be picked up starting at mile 7.5 and transported to the finish. The time of the last runner to cross the start will be added to the limit, ensuring that all participants can keep a 13:45 pace.
