The New York Marathon is a phenomenal experience and the atmosphere throughout the weekend in the city is incredible. We have a number of guaranteed places for next year's marathon and we would be delighted to see you take up a place in support of the charity Action for Kids.
The New York Marathon, the inspiration for the London Marathon, is fantastic with:

A field of 39,000 runners and is on a par with London in terms of runner numbers

2 million spectators making it the most supported run in the world

The course goes through all 5 boroughs starting on Staten Island followed by Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and the finish in Central Park in Manhattan

The most famous skyline in the world as a backdrop to your marathon adventure
