The NYC Marathon ends in Central Park, Manhattan, near the West 60s, with the finish line located along Central Park West and the southern end of the park near Tavern on the Green.
- Finish location specifics: runners enter Central Park and finish along the park’s West Side near 60th Street, with spectators viewing along Central Park West and surrounding avenues.
- Typical route pattern: the race starts on Staten Island, traverses the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn, then through Queens, into Manhattan, up First Avenue into The Bronx briefly, returns to Manhattan, and finishes in Central Park. The final approach funnels runners into Central Park for the last segments and the finish near the southern end of the park.
