The ING New York City Marathon® continues to be the most important International marathon in the world - it will be barely seconds after you first arrive in Manhattan that you realise why - the place positively buzzes!
New York is an experience not to be missed - it really is the most complete marathon: a classic course through the 5 New York Boroughs crossing the impressive Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at the start and the Queensboro Bridge at 15 miles, sensational views of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, then the incredible lift from the crowds when you enter Manhattan. From Brooklyn to the Bronx, this is a journey through all of the ethnic variety that makes New York unique.
The bridges are spectacular but, along with the hills in Central Park, they mark this out as being a tougher marathon route than London. For most runners though, the hills are a small price to pay for the fantastic support from hysterical crowds - particularly in Brooklyn, along First Avenue when you reach Manhattan and in Central Park.
MAG has teamed up with international tour operator 2:09 Events Ltd to offer you the opportunity to participate in this amazing event. Under our special scheme, you can reclaim your travel costs subject to raising sponsorship.
