This Sunday, 55,000 runners will embark on a 26.2-mile journey spanning five boroughs in the 2025 TCS NYC Marathon<\/a>. While they put their best foot forward, the rest of us might need to worry about getting around.<\/p>\n

Runners heading to Staten Island for the starting line should take the Staten Island Ferry<\/a> to get there. The best way to get to the ferry\u2019s Downtown Manhattan station is by taking the 1 train to South Ferry, the N\/Q\/R trains to Whitehall Street, or the 4 train to Bowling Green.<\/p>\n

Once the runners arrive on Staten Island, they will board special shuttle buses at the St. George Ferry Terminal that will take them to School Road and Bay Street, a short distance from the starting line.<\/p>\n

During the race, the Verrazzano Bridge will be closed to all non-emergency traffic between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday. The upper level of the span will close in both directions as of 11 p.m. Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The MTA<\/a> will also divert buses away from the marathon route while streets are closed for the race. For more information on any service changes, visit mta.info<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the ultra-athletes and couch potatoes alike, here\u2019s what to know about transit changes around the course.\n<\/p>\n
