STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Calling all Staten Islanders competing in the NYC Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025: We want to hear from you -- SOON after the race.

One of New York’s biggest events returns Sunday, celebrating endurance and community while closing major roads from Staten Island to Central Park. Here’s everything to know.

The race begins on Staten Island, with runners crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn. From there, the path snakes through Queens, a quick stint in the Bronx, and finally Manhattan, culminating at Central Park's finish line.

The bus companies placed blame on the city Department of Education’s Panel on Education Policy for not approving a five-year contract extension, which was originally scheduled to begin on July 1, 2025. The companies have been operating under an “emergency contract” pending the approval of this contract.
