Starting under the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, you and 50,000 fellow competitors will run through the streets of Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and under the skyscrapers of Manhattan, before finishing in the serene and beautiful surroundings of Central Park. Imagine the crowds, the colours, the noise and the sense of achievement at the end, followed by the opportunity to explore the Big Apple in less strenuous conditions!
It is the perfect chance for you and your loved ones to visit and indulge in one of the most iconic cities in the world, with the timing of the race perfect for Christmas shopping too!
We’ll support you every step of the way...
Once you are signed up to run for us we will make sure that you are looked after every step of the way!
- Our very own personal trainer Simon King will offer you running and training advice.
- We will have a dedicated team on hand to offer you fundraising ideas and support before you leave as well as a member of the team in New York itself for all of your needs.
- You will receive a high performance New Balance running shirt, branded for team Cure Leukaemia.
- You will receive a personal ‘goodie bag’ once you cross the finish line.
- And we will of course, host the best post race party in New York as soon as the race is finished!
"The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. It has camaraderie. It has heroism.
Every jogger can't dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon."
-Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
