The New York City Marathon was inaugurated in 1970, initially confined to Central Park with only 127 participants and a handful of spectators. Unlike its modest first edition, where only 55 runners crossed the finish line, the marathon quickly gained in popularity and prestige. Over the years, the event expanded to encompass all five boroughs of New York, becoming a major marathon that symbolizes the resilience, diversity, and unity of the city.
The New York City Marathon course is famous for its electric atmosphere and the challenge it presents, crossing all five boroughs of the city: Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and finally Manhattan. The marathon starts on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in Staten Island, offering a spectacular view of the city. Runners then cross into Brooklyn and Queens before passing over the Queensboro Bridge to enter Manhattan. A brief foray into the Bronx precedes a return to Manhattan, where the course takes participants along 5th Avenue, through Central Park, to the finish line on West Drive. This course not only offers a variety of urban landscapes but is also supported by enthusiastic crowds throughout, making it an unforgettable experience for participants.
