New York City Marathon: Five Boroughs Weekend

Stay near the Central Park finish or across the river.

The New York City Marathon crosses all five boroughs on the first Sunday in November. Midtown and the Upper West Side are closest to the finish; Jersey City and Staten Island stays are easier for families who drive in.
