New York Half Marathon Pace Calculator & Race Plan

The New York Half Marathon, officially the United Airlines NYC Half, is one of the most popular half marathons in the country. The course starts in Brooklyn near Prospect Park, crosses the Manhattan Bridge into Lower Manhattan, runs north through Times Square and along the West Side, and finishes in Central Park. The park's rolling hills in the final miles are tougher than they look on paper, especially on tired legs after 10 miles of city running.

The New York Half Marathon is organized by NYRR and typically sells out quickly. March weather in New York can range from below freezing to mild spring conditions, making race-day strategy weather-dependent. Our splits adjust for the Central Park hills and whatever the forecast shows, giving you a realistic plan for this signature New York City road race.
