Course map, road closures and start time – NBC New York

Who is ready to run 13.1 miles? Or are you perhaps more to be seen in the mood?

This Sunday, around 27,000 runners for the 2025 United Airlines NYC helped go marathon onto the Brooklyn and Manhattan street.

The half marathon course begins runner in Prospect Park, north over the Brooklyn Bridge, then the FDR trip before reaching the finish line in Central Park. Historically speaking, the race has always sent runners over the Manhattan Bridge, but due to the construction, the course runs over the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time.

The first runners are supposed to start at 7 a.m., then staggered waves are taken away.

Do you have a friend, a colleague or a loved one? The New York Road Runners started a new Beta app to follow runners during the big race on Sunday.
