The NYC Marathon typically finishes in the early evening, with race organizers and local outlets estimating the final finisher times around roughly 6:30 p.m. local time, though elite runners finish much earlier and wheelchair and additional waves can extend later into the evening. For the exact completion window on the specific year you’re asking about, check the official NYC Marathon results tracker or local news updates on race day. Key points:
- The mass start occurs in waves beginning around 8:00 a.m., with the final waves finishing later in the evening.
- Elite finalists (top men’s and women’s runners) typically cross the finish in roughly 2:05–2:20 for men and women, respectively, while a large number of recreational runners finish over the next several hours.
- Wheelchair divisions often finish earlier in the afternoon, but overall finish times depend on participant pace and course conditions.
