What: A series of half-marathon (13.1-mile) races throughout New York City


Where: All five boroughs: Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island


When: January-October


Who: Open to runners of all levels. NYRR membership is not required.

 

The NYRR Half-Marathon Grand Prix Presented by Continental Airlines follows a longstanding tradition of welcoming runners to scenic, history-rich courses in New York City's five boroughs to race the popular half-marathon (13.1-mile) distance.

 

Every runner who completes at least four of the five races within the calendar year earns a commemorative patch, and those who run all five receive a certificate and special gift.

 

Each race in the series also counts toward qualifying for guaranteed entry to the ING New York City Marathon.
