The course will begin on Central Park's East Drive (near 85th Street) and make a complete, clockwise loop around the park. Runners will then continue to the south end of the park and exit onto Seventh Avenue, heading south to Times Square. A right turn onto 42nd Street will take runners to 12th Avenue (West Street), where, after a left turn, the race continues along the Hudson River waterfront to Lower Manhattan. The finish is on West Street near Rector Street and Battery Park.

Three-Hour Time Limit
Please note that in the interest of safety, any NYC Half-Marathon Presented by NIKE participant who is not able to maintain a 13:45-per-mile pace throughout the race (3:00 projected finishing time) will be picked up along the course starting at approximately mile 7.5 (Central Park South and Seventh Avenue) and transported to the finish. Be aware that the time it takes the last runner (who was at the start line at 7:00 a.m.) to cross the start line will be added to the overall 3:00 time limit, ensuring all participants a 13:45-per-mile pace. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with this enforcement of the 3:00 time limit for safety purposes.

The course runs through the heart of the Big Apple.
