Half-Marathon presentation

Known for being the most beautiful marathon in the world, the city also boasts one of the finest half-marathons. Whether for its environment or its atmosphere, New York Road Runners has made the New York Half Marathon or United Airlines NYC Half one of the city’s most important events not to be missed.

Right in the heart of Brooklyn, the starting line is in Prospect Park. Once underway, let yourself be carried through several of the Big Apple’s landmarks. Between Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Bridge where you’ll enjoy the Sky Line, the FDR drive where you’ll run along the East River, the famous headquarters of the United Nations and Times Square, which you’ll be able to enjoy without a vehicle, this event isn’t just a race. It’s also 21.098kms of open-air city sightseeing. Finally, you’ll cross the finish line in Central Park, Manhattan’s green lung. Its festive atmosphere will carry you all the way to the finish. Last year, over 28,000 runners took part in the New York City Half Marathon. All participants will receive a T-shirt and a medal as a souvenir of their participation.

Take advantage of this interlude to discover the wonders of this megalopolis. This gargantuan city will dazzle you from the moment you arrive with its skyscrapers. Whether you like to shop on 5th Avenue, take in the architecture by strolling downtown or on the bridges, discover its history closely linked to immigration by taking the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Elis Island, discover the famous Broadway shows or celebrate St. Patrick’s Day the American way, there’s something for every taste and every age. Whether you’re a runner or a companion, there’s something for everyone.

Book your stay with Planet Tours to guarantee your race number and take part in the race. You’ll be accompanied by a sportsman with a passion for running.
