33,000 runners to run
through boroughs Nov. 7
BY EMILY DAVENPORT
This Sunday, runners will lace up
their sneakers and take on the annual
TCS New York City Marathon.
The TCS New York City Marathon
is the largest marathon in the world,
and this will be the 50th running of
this huge race. Hosted by the New York
Road Runners, the race will kick off at
8 am on Nov. 7.
“This will be an unprecedented and
historic year for the TCS New York
City Marathon as one of the most iconic
New York sporting events makes its return,”
said Ted Metellus, Race Director,
TCS New York City Marathon. “As
we stage a safe and memorable race for
the 50th running, this year’s marathon
will showcase our great city’s strength,
inspiration, and determination.”
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the
annual marathon was canceled last
year. Runners registered for the 2020
race were provided the option to receive
a full refund of their entry fee or
a guaranteed complimentary entry for
the 2021, 2022, or 2023 New York City
Marathon.
This year’s race is expected to draw
in 33,000 runners of all ages and abilities
who will go head to head across
26.2 miles of the fi ve boroughs. The
runners will start in Staten Island,
cross the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge
into Brooklyn and then run through
Brooklyn and Queens before going into
Manhattan. After heading up through
the Bronx, the runners will head back
down to Central Park, where the race
will conclude.
To establish social distancing at
the marathon and reduce density at
the start and fi nish, a controllable and
scalable time-trial start format will be
utilized instead of single mass gathering
starts. To adapt to this new format,
an extended period of time will be
needed with the fi rst wave starting an
hour earlier, and later waves extending
two hours later.
Several runners have opted to participate
in the Virtual TCS New York
City Marathon Powered by Strava,
which offi cially began on Oct. 23. The
virtual race, which draws in runners
from all over the world, will continue
through Nov. 7.
New Yorkers are welcome to watch
the race from the sidelines. For those
who want to watch from home, local
coverage will begin at 7 am with race
coverage on WABC-TV and ESPN2 at
8:30 am.
