TCS New York City Marathon 2026
A World Marathon Major through all five New York City boroughs, starting at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, on Sunday 1 November 2026.
4 weeks to race day: the sharpening window
A full build no longer fits, but a sharp one does. This close in, the job is specificity and freshness: race-pace touches, open-water or brick rehearsal, and a taper your nervous system actually absorbs. No heroics; arrive fresh.
Building for this one? Training plans cover the sessions, the weekly shape and how the block is paced. The R.A.C.E. Framework explains why it is built that way.
Build my pacing and preparation plan.
Commit to the date and we will walk you to it: a countdown, honest guidance by email, and the debrief afterwards. Full adaptive training for running races is coming; nothing here pretends otherwise.
One confirmation email, then the road begins. Registering for the race itself stays with the organiser.
“The course starts at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island and runs through all five boroughs. The organiser's pages read do not state elevation, so check the course profile before planning your pacing.”
