Course details

Course highlights

The Marathon: This accurately measured single lap course starting and finishing in Central Park on a scenic tree-lined avenue. The course is undulating so please note there are hills. The race includes a large selection of water and aid stations located at 8 points around the course. There will be selected pacers on the course. Please note there is a cut off time of 7 hours for the event due to health and safety reasons. The Half Marathon: This is an 'out & back' course. It is a flatter route than the full marathon, but participants will enjoy running through Central Park and out into stunning countryside, finishing back at Central Park. A note about the race start: The race will start under the gantry in Central Park. Both distances will start together but with wave starts. More details will be provided in the pre-race instructions which will be sent approximately two weeks prior to race-day.
