The 2022 New York City Marathon will take place on Sunday, November 6. It begins at 8 a.m. ET and will see runners weave through all five boroughs of New York City. It begins in Staten Island and then will finish in Central Park.

Start time
The marathon will begin promptly at 8 a.m. ET. Keep in mind that overnight from Saturday into Sunday we will “fall back” with Daylight Savings Time, and New York is a state that will be falling back.
How to watch
The 2022 New York City Marathon will be available to watch on TV. If you are local to NY then you can catch it on WABC-TV. If you are tuning in nationally, it will be on ESPN2 , ESPN3 and the ESPNApp.
