NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Tens of thousands of runners are expected to take to the streets on Sunday, March 16 for the 13.1 mile race through Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Here's what you need to know about the street closures and no parking zones.

Organized by the New York Road Runners, the United Airlines NYC Half is the world's premier half marathon.

Runners will start near the Brooklyn Museum, passing historic landmarks, diverse neighborhoods and sweeping views of the city en route to the finish line in Central Park. Participants even get to race through Times Square, a location that's closed to traffic only twice a year.

Due to ongoing construction on South Street in Manhattan, runners in this year's United Airlines NYC Half will now cross the Brooklyn Bridge instead of the Manhattan Bridge, marking the first time a NYRR race has ever done so.

The United Airlines NYC Half finish line will close at 2 p.m., approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes after the final participant crosses the start line.

You can learn more about the United Airlines NYC Half on the New York Road Runners website.
