Please see the event chat for important updates about the run.
Preview the Last Ten Miles of the NYC Marathon with the New York Flyers! This terrific run will follow the marathon course from the Manhattan Side of the Ed Koch Queensboro/59th Street Bridge, to the Bronx, to the infamous 5th Avenue Hill, to the Marathon Finish Line at Tavern on the Green in Central Park.
📝 Check-in begins at 7:15 AM. Please arrive no later than 7:35 a.m. so we can start the run promptly at 8:00 AM.
📍 Where: We will meet at the northeast corner of 59th and 1st, just SOUTH of the Queensboro Bridge underpass. The meeting place will be the small plaza in front of the TJ Maxx and Trader Joe’s. Look for the runners decked out in NY Flyer Gear!
💦 Aid Station: Water, Gatorade, and gels at around Mile 6 at Marcus Garvey Park (122nd St and Mount Morris Park West).
At the FINISH we will have coffee, water, Gatorade and bagels.
🎒 Baggage Drop-off at start location (59th and 1st Avenue)
🫳 Baggage Pick-up at Team Picnic (Scroll down to "After the Race" for directions to the Team Picnic at Heckscher Playground.) BAGGAGE CHECK IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS OFFERED AS A CONVENIENCE TO RUNNERS. Baggage pick-up will close at end of the picnic at around 1:00 PM, which gives you plenty of time to finish the run.
🚽 Toilets: There are no official toilets at the start. Bathrooms may or may not be available at a nearby Starbucks. There are a few bathrooms at parks along the route that may be open, but pacers will not make stops at these toilets given the relatively short length of the run.
-Please stay on the sidewalk as much as possible. Be very careful crossing streets, especially the larger Manhattan streets such as 79th Street, 86th Street, etc., as well as some busy streets in the Bronx. Please do not run through red lights! Avoid running in the bike lanes.
-We will start with the fastest group first — the 7:30/8:00 MM group will take off at 8:00AM and groups will leave every few minutes through 13 MM/Run-walk group.
-Please note that in order to comply with NYC Parks regulations, each pace group needs to consist of fewer than 20 people.
-We will enter Central Park from the Marathon on-ramp from Columbus Circle. Please run in a single file when you enter Central Park and use extra caution in the area. There is a charity walk scheduled at the same time, so the course in the park will be very crowded.
