NYC Marathon 2023: See route, road closures and forecast here

Tens of thousands of marathon runners will be back on the streets of New York City this weekend, marking the return of what's considered to be the world's largest 26.2-mile race.

The 2023 TCS New York City Marathon kicks off Sunday morning at 8 a.m., with an estimated 50,000 people expected to take off from Staten Island and navigate the marathon course through all five of the city's boroughs. (That morning also marks the end of daylight saving time).

The race starts at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and finishes at Central Park West Drive and 67th Street. Significant street closures, some rolling and some otherwise, will be in effect. See the full list of closures and the course map below.

Last year, a total of 47,839 people completed the marathon. The New York Road Runners said the average race time came in at 4 hours, 50 minutes and 26 seconds.

Marathon runners and spectators alike will be treated to a rare sight: a rain-free weekend. The forecast for this weekend is the first without precipitation in eight straight weekends. Temperatures will be in the low 50s to start in the morning and will climb into the low 60s in the afternoon, with plenty of sun shining through clouds.

Fans can catch the race from almost anywhere along the 26.2-mile course, expect the first few miles, that is. The marathon course is open to spectators from mile 3 to mile 26.

There are also tickets available to watch the runners cross the finish line from the grandstands in Central Park.
