As the race continues, the challenges increase with inclines on First Ave into The Bronx and the rolling hills of Central Park in the final miles, making New York a yo-yo of easy and hard miles. This relentless design isn’t all that slows runners down.

The TCS New York City Marathon app added livestreaming in 2022. You can watch all four professional races (men’s and women’s, wheelchair and open divisions) in full, and get a look at runners passing through five locations along the course. The app also allows you to track runners in real time.
