Photo by Sam Gross.<\/p>\n<p>By Gus Saltonstall<\/p>\n<p>The New York City Marathon will happen on Sunday, which means there will be lots of street closures on the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n<p>Marathon Sunday is a day to celebrate athletic achievement, but it is also a day not to travel more than you need, especially if you\u2019re trying to get across town.<\/p>\n<p>The race begins at 8 a.m. with the Men\u2019s Wheelchair Division. Since the marathon ends in Central Park, the Upper West Side is also where the \u201cFamily Reunion\u201d areas are set up, which help runners find their loved ones after the race is over. This means our neighborhood has a few more street closures than most.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/assets\/cecm\/downloads\/pdf\/tcs-street-closures-marathon-2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Upper West Side street closures<\/a> related to the New York City Marathon to know about, including in Central Park.<\/p>\n<p>Central Park South from Fifth to Eighth Avenue: Saturday, October 31 from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.<br \/>\nCentral Park East Drive: Saturday, October 31 through Sunday, November 1<br \/>\nCentral Park West Drive: Saturday, October 31 through Sunday, November 1<br \/>\nCentral Park Center Drive: Saturday, October 31 through Sunday, November 1<br \/>\n65th Street Traverse: Sunday, November 1 from midnight through 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\n79th Street Traverse: Sunday, November 1 from midnight through 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\n96th Street Traverse: Sunday, November 1 from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\nCentral Park West from Columbus Circle to 81st Street: Sunday, November 1 from midnight through 10:30 p.m.<br \/>\nCentral Park West from 77th to 86th streets: Sunday, November 1 from 5 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\nBroadway from 59th to 65th streets: Sunday, November 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\nCentral Park West from 59th to 77th streets: Sunday, November 1 from 5 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\nColumbus Avenue from 59th to 77th streets: Sunday, November 1 from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\nBroadway from 59th to 77th streets: Sunday, November 1 from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.<br \/>\nCentral Park South from Fifth Avenue to Columbus Circle: Sunday, November 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Family Reunion Zone<\/p>\n<p>West 69th through 71st streets between Columbus and Central Park West from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>And here is where you can\u2019t park on the Upper West Side in the lead-up and on the day of the New York City Marathon.<\/p>\n<p>Central Park West from 60th to 66th streets: Saturday, October 31 through Sunday, November 1.<br \/>\nCentral Park West from 74th to 96th streets: Saturday, October 31 through Sunday, November 1.<br \/>\nCentral Park West to Broadway from 61st to 77th streets: Saturday, October 31 through Sunday, November 1.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to West Side Rag\u2019s FREE email newsletter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/westsiderag.us6.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=5772ebf2a0a585445f1188785&amp;id=f50755d5f9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
