Organized by the New York Road Runners, the United Airlines NYC Half is the world’s premier half marathon and the largest in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The race takes runners on a 13.1-mile park-to-park tour of New York City, starting in Prospect Park in Brooklyn and ending in Central Park. For the second year in a row, athletes will traverse across the Brooklyn Bridge — the only race in history to do so — before passing Grand Central Terminal and running through Times Square, a location closed to traffic only twice a year.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the race, the New York Road Runners announced the full professional athlete field<\/a>, which features a star-studded lineup including all four defending champions, 30 Olympians and Paralympians, 19 national record holders and 11 global medalists.<\/p>\n

In 2025, a record-breaking 28,709 finishers participated in the United Airlines NYC Half. In addition to the nearly 29,000 half marathoners, more than 1,500 kids between the ages of 2-18 will participate in free races and dashes at the Times Square Kids Run<\/a>.<\/p>\n
