NYC Marathon neighborhood cheering

Turn a neighborhood corner into a cheering section.

The plan

The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon takes place November 1. Choose a public street-viewing location using NYRR’s spectator guidance; this plan is for cheering, not race entry.

Before you go

NYRR confirms Sunday, November 1. Runner arrival varies by location and wave. This is a spectator idea, not race registration; choose a viewing point and check road and subway changes.

Location: Public viewing areas along the five-borough marathon route

Source checked: 2026-10-29. Hours, pricing, availability, and outdoor conditions can change. Confirm details with the organizer.
