MAIN Arrow to Recreation Recreation Arrow to Sports Sports Arrow to New York Marathon New York City Marathon

New York City MarathonWhat began in Central Park with a 127 runners in 1970, has today grown to an international event which includes some 30,000 runners from around the world participating in one of the world's largest and most famous running competitions.

This year, an estimated 2 million spectators will line the streets to cheer on a friend, brother, sister, mother, father, aunt or cousin - as a carnival party atmosphere takes over the city and runs for 26.2 miles from Staten Island to Manhattan in the 38th running of the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 4, 2007.

In New York, check local listings on NBC Sports.

The Marathon starts on the Staten Island side of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, then proceeds through Brooklyn and Queens...crosses the Queensborough Bridge into Manhattan...makes its way up to the Bronx and then south again to Manhattan...where the finish line is located near Central Park's Tavern on the Green.

Best New York Marathon Viewing

In Manhattan, First Avenue and 59th Street traditionally provides the most dramatic views as runners spill down the ramp of the Queensborough Bridge (at the 16-mile mark) to speed their way uptown. Otherwise, the best spectator viewing - and most elbow room - can be found on First Avenue between 65th and 96th Streets.

In Brooklyn, any place along Fourth Avenue, the longest Marathon stretch, comes highly recommended, and in Queens the best spots lie along 51st Street and 44th Drive from Vernon to Crescent Street. In the Bronx, try 138th Street from Alexander Avenue to Third Avenue.
