STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Looking to track your loved one as they conquer the streets of five boroughs in the New York City Marathon? Well, there\u2019s an app for that. <\/p>\n
Using the New York Road Runners app, you can find out where your runner is, catch them at course milestones, and even get a first-hand view of them crossing the finish line in Central Park.<\/p>\n
To download the app, all you have to do is search for it in either the Apple App Store or the Google Play store as either: NYRR or New York Road Runners. <\/p>\n
From there, you can search for your runner and watch them from wherever you are on the course \u2014 or at home. <\/p>\n
You can even track them via the live results website run by the marathon here: liveresults.nyrr.org. <\/p>\n
The event kicks off, as always, on Staten Island, where runners will journey from Fort Wadsworth and cross the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge toward Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
To accommodate the waves of runners during the marathon\u2019s start, MTA Bridges and Tunnels will close the lower level of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to all non-emergency vehicular traffic between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. <\/a>on Sunday.<\/p>\n Additionally, the upper level of the span will close in both directions beginning at 11 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1, to allow for roadway preparation.<\/p>\n The marathon begins at 8 a.m. on Sunday, but groups of runners will continue to start in waves up until 11:30 a.m.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that dozens of streets across the five boroughs will be closed<\/a> due to the marathon throughout the day. <\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
