☘ ST PATRICK’S DAY ☘
We have pleasure in outlining details of our tour to the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. Enjoy the thrill of St Patrick’s Day in New York! The field is limited to 22,500 runners and the time limit is 3 hours. The race starts at 7.30 am and presents a unique opportunity to run through the streets of Manhattan and Central Park, as well as to experience Brooklyn. The famous St Patrick’s Day Parade will take place on Saturday 16th, so you won’t miss a thing!
The Course
The race starts in Brooklyn at Grand Army Plaza, just outside Prospect Park. Run along Flatbush Ave, cross the iconic Manhattan Bridge to Manhattan after two and a half miles, and enjoy the route through Lower East Side and along the East River via FDR Drive. Then the familiar old course kicks in – in reverse. Run along the famous 42nd St and through Times Square (traffic-free). At 8 miles swing right to head up 7th Ave to Central Park. Just before 9 miles enter the Park at Central Park South. The rest of the route is a grand anti-clockwise tour of Central Park, with its many sights and celebrated Reservoir. The Finish Line is at The Lake, close to West 75th St (Central Park West).
Time Limit & Cut-Offs – The time limit for the half marathon is 3 hours. Any participant who is not able to maintain a 13:45-per-mile pace throughout the race will be picked up along the course, starting at approximately mile 7.5, and transported to the finish. The race is timed using the Chrono Track D-Tag timing system.
T-Shirt, Medal, Certificate – All entrants will receive a technical T-shirt and all finishers will receive a medal at the finish line. Race Certificates will be available subsequently.
