New York Marathon 2025 Route, Course Map, Times, Road Closures & Event Details

The 2025 New York City Marathon will take place on Sunday, with fans from all over the globe converging on the city for one of the most popular races in the world.

A year ago, Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands won the men's marathon with a time of 2:07:39. Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya won the women's marathon with a time of 2:24:35.

In the wheelchair race, Daniel Romanchuk won the men's race for a third time with a time of 1:36:31. In the women's race, Susannah Scaroni finished first for the second time with a 1:48:05 mark and an impressive margin of victory of over 10 minutes.

Last year's marathon featured a record total of 55,642 total finishers, making it the largest marathon in world history.

This year's race has the potential to be even bigger, and it's certainly be a massive event. Some participants will be racing for the record books. Some will be looking to challenge themselves, while others will be running just for the fun of it.

Participants and fans may even see a few celebrities along the way. According to Taylor Dutch of Runner's World, this year's list of entrants includes the likes of Broadway actor Anthony Ramos, screen actor Oliver Phelps, hip-hop artist N.O.R.E. and The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan.

Coverage of the race will be broadcast on ESPN2 and the ESPN app from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday and on WABC-TV locally.

Here's everything else fans need to know ahead of Sunday's festivities.
