The 2022 New York City Marathon, the 51st running of that city's premier long-distance race, is scheduled to be held on November 6, 2022. The race is expected to follow its traditional route, which passes through all five boroughs of New York City.

Background

After the 2021 event was limited to 33,000 competitors due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[1] the 2022 edition is expected to have up to 50,000 competitors.[2] All competitors will be required to wear face coverings in the race start area.[3]

Course

The marathon distance is 42.195 kilometres (26.219 mi) long as sanctioned by World Athletics (IAAF).[4] The New York City Marathon starts at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island.[5] The runners then cross the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into mostly-flat Brooklyn where for the next 12 miles (19 km) they pass through Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Williamsburg.[6] The course then enters Queens by crossing over the Pulaski Bridge; the mid-point of the race is on that bridge.[6]

After a short time in Queens, the race crosses the Queensboro Bridge at mile 14,[7] and enters Manhattan[6] where competitors run north on First Avenue for 3 miles (4.8 km).[6][8] The runners cross the Willis Avenue Bridge, where they enter The Bronx[9] for miles 19 and 20.[7] The course then re-enters Manhattan via the Madison Avenue Bridge[9] for the final 6.2 miles (10.0 km).[6] After running through Harlem, there is a slight uphill section along Fifth Avenue before it flattens out and runs parallel to Central Park. The course then enters the park around mile 24, passes Columbus Circle at mile 25 and re-enters the park for the finish.[6][8]
