New York Half Marathon 2024
United Airlines NYC Half Marathon 2023
From Brooklyn to Central Park, the NYC Half Marathon takes you on a wonderful journey through New York. This year, the United Airlines NYC Half takes place on Mother’s Day and during the same weekend as St Patricks Day so you can enjoy the Parade on Friday and combine these important events! A great time to be in New York City!
The 2023 United Airlines NYC Half is a popular half marathon that takes you through 13.1 miles of New York City streets. To be able to run on closed roads through the Big Apple with its breathtaking skyscrapers and enthusiastic supporters is an absolute joy. Demand for places is high as it attracts more than 24,000 runners from across the globe. The race starts in Brooklyn and takes runners across the East River on the Manhattan Bridge before racing along Manhattan from Lower East Side to Midtown, through Times Square before finishing in the magnificent Central Park.
This is a sell-out event but Guaranteed Entry at only £190 is available with the purchase of a “United Airlines NYC Half Travel Package” from Marathon Tours & Travel. We offer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 nights at our Manhattan hotel from as little as £209 per person. We include breakfasts, support, and guidance from our team, opportunities to meet fellow runners, and the chance to celebrate together after the big event.
