Welcome to New York!
New York is a must-see destination and in our opinion, there is no better way to enjoy the city than by running. We offer you this opportunity by taking part in the NYC Half in March 2022 and the New York City Marathon in November, 2022. The place is huge and to give you a bit more background and information, we hope we can help to make your trip to New York the best it can be. Read more below.
About New York
New York City comprises 5 boroughs. Two of the boroughs are actually islands: Manhattan and Staten Island. When you run the New York Marathon, you’ll more than likely stay in Manhattan and the start of the Marathon is on Staten Island so you need transport to get there in the morning which we provide. Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island, and the Bronx is attached to the US mainland. The islands are linked by bridges, tunnels and ferries.
Manhattan Island is roughly 13 miles long and 2 miles wide at its widest. As is common with American cities, streets are divided into a grid pattern which is numbered. Fifth Avenue divides the island into east and west (for example, locations on 57th Street west of Fifth Avenue are designated “West. 57th Street.,” and east of Fifth Avenue, they are “East. 57th Street.”). When you’re out and about it’s quite easy to find your way by using the numbers.
Time Zone
New York City is on Eastern Standard Time (GMT minus 4 hours during daylight saving time and minus 5 hours the rest of the year).
