As the 2025 NYC Marathon returns this Sunday, here's everything to know about the start times, schedule and how to track the results.

The grand finale of the 2025 marathon season is set to unfold in New York City, where every fall, the streets transform into the world’s greatest running stage, painted in the vibrant colors of the TCS New York City Marathon.

The 2025 TCS New York City Marathon takes over the five boroughs this Sunday, with extensive road and bridge closures. Drivers should expect heavy traffic throughout the day, and race organizers recommend taking mass transit. Whether you're watching in person or just getting around, beware of the following street closures.

Some past New York marathons have been extremely tight. Benson Kipruto’s split-second victory was a photo finish.

Rob Simmelkjaer, CEO of the nonprofit that puts on the New York City Marathon, said it's a miracle how the race comes together every year.

The featured event was the Jamestown Half Marathon, a Colonial Road Runners Grand Prix event (the 16th of 2025), and also a Hampton Roads Super Grand Prix event. There were 446 entrants in all three races (there was also a Discovery Mile fun run, as well as some virtual entries), with 258 finishers in the half marathon, and 117 finishers in the 5K.

Scott Warmbrand, 52, of Mastic, overcame strokes suffered in 2022, and a cancer diagnosis 20 years ago couldn't keep Michael Sorrentino, 56, of Freeport, off the course.

The race starts at 8:00 a.m. ET with the professional men's wheelchair division, followed by the women's wheelchair division at 8:02 a.m. ET. Elite runners begin later, with professional women starting at 8:35 a.
