Travel & Accommodations:

 

  • Check out NYRR's travel partners here, including NYRR's exclusive travel partner On Location for discounted hotel accommodations. 
  • You will make your Start Transportation selections in August, but here are some points of reference for planning your trip:
    • TFK ferries to the start leave from East 35th Street and FDR Drive at the East River on race morning.
    • NYRR's Midtown buses leave from the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue and 42nd Street.
    • The Staten Island ferry leaves from the Whitehall Terminal in Downtown Manhattan at Whitehall and State Streets.
    • NYRR's New Jersey bus leaves from the MetLife Stadium Parking Lot K near the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, NJ.
  • Where do I stay? This depends on each runner's preferences, but we recommend staying somewhere in Manhattan's Midtown near the finish and runner exit at the southwest corner of Central Park by Columbus Circle.

 

We recommend booking your lodging ASAP. With so many runners and spectators coming from around the world, things fill up fast!
