NYC Marathon
Travel guide
NYC Marathon is in New York, the USA. Plan to land at least two days out — one to clear the time zone, one to rack the expo and a shakeout run without rushing.
Getting there
Fly into the nearest major hub and stay within reach of the start. Race morning, transit gets crowded and surge pricing on rides is real, so being able to walk to the corrals is worth paying for.
When to come, when to leave
Race day is November 1, 2026. We'd give yourself the evening after to actually eat and sleep before flying — racing and then sprinting through an airport on dead legs is its own kind of pain.
