The United Airlines NYC Half Marathon isn't until March of 2019, but the application deadline for entry is almost here. The popular race attracts some of the best runners in the world, running side-by-side with amateur runners from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Starting at Prospect Park, the route takes runners over the Manhattan Bridge, onto the FDR, through Midtown and Times Square, then finishes in Central Park.

The 2019 United Airlines NYC Half will take runners from around the city and the globe on a 13.1-mile tour of NYC. Led by a talent-packed roster of American and international elites, runners will stop traffic in the Big Apple this March!
