La United Airlines NYC Half 2025 es la más grande de la historia
The 2025 United Airlines NYC Half was the largest half marathon in New York Road Runners history as more than 28,500 runners celebrated the start of the spring racing season.
This year's race also saw event records and title defenses in the pro fields on a course that crossed the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time in NYRR race history.
On a cool, foggy morning, athletes started near the Brooklyn Museum, ran through Prospect Park and down Flatbush Avenue, crossed the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, and continued up the FDR and through Times Square to the finish line in Central Park.
Geert Schipper, Manuela Schär, Abel Kipchumba, and Sharon Lokedi broke the finish tapes, leading a pro field that featured 30 Olympians and Paralympians. Schipper, of the Netherlands, defended his 2024 title in the men’s wheelchair division, while Kipchumba, of Kenya, defended his men's open division title and broke an 18-year-old event record. Lokedi, of Kenya, set a women's open division event record.
