NYC Marathon 2024: This weekend, New York City will once again transform into a vibrant showcase of athleticism and community spirit as the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon takes place. Kicking off on Sunday morning at 8 a.m., this iconic race is expected to draw around 50,000 runners from Staten Island, traversing through all five boroughs of the city. As one of the largest marathons in the world, it promises an exhilarating experience for participants and spectators alike.

The marathon begins at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and concludes at Central Park West Drive and 67th Street. Following last year’s success, where over 51,000 runners finished the race, organizers are gearing up for another fantastic event.
