The iconic 26.2-mile course travels through all five boroughs, starting in Staten Island, traversing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and crossing through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx, before ending at its famed Central Park finish line.
The LAST participants crossed the finish line at the 2025 TCS NYC Marathon on Sunday night.
The marathon started in 1970 as four laps of Central Park with 55 finishers. The marathon left the park and entered the five boroughs for the first time in 1976 to celebrate the U.S. bicentennial, and never looked back.
The TCS New York City Marathon brings together more than 55,000 participants and two million spectators.

A short film about the final finishers premiered in New York City on Monday. The film was directed by Nicolas Heller Nicolas Heller (aka NewYorkNico), and produced by 'm ss ng p eces' and nonprofit New York Road Runners' studio East 89th St Productions.
"26.2" follows four tenacious New Yorkers in the lead-up to the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon, one of 60 adult and youth races produced annually by New York Road Runners.
A longtime superfan of the race, Heller was inspired by the individual stories and motivations of each runner (and walker) who chooses to participate in one of the world's largest and most iconic marathons.
