The ING New York City Marathon really is the daddy of all marathons. Other races may have reached the numbers of New York, but few can match the atmosphere. The route will give you a taster of every part of the city as you run your way through Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan.
How we will support you
When you become a Daffodil Runner you'll be looked after from start to finish, supporting you in both your fundraising and training efforts, and of course on the big day itself.
In partnership with our tour operator you can secure the place and flight package with the option of accommodation too. A bus will collect you to and from the airport and transport to the start line on race day will be provided.
It's not just about the race itself: with a Health and Fitness Expo to visit, a pasta party, training run, firework display and post race drinks all available to you, it promises to be a fantastic trip and unforgettable experience.
