NYRR Fred Lebow Half Marathon
Overview
Course Description
The course, which is subject to change and may be updated close to the race day, takes participants on a tour of the park and the surrounding city streets, along a route that is by turns hilly and flat, covered with the leafy trees of Central Park and bordered by the skyscrapers and residential neighborhoods of Manhattan.
Participants are limited to three hours on the course, after which on-course refreshments and medical facilities will not be available.
In some years, runners’ times in the race — if they’re members of the New York Road Runners club — can be used toward credit for qualifying for guaranteed entry in the United Airlines New York City Marathon (though their time will not be listed in race results if they finish after three hours).
