NEW YORK --The 13.1-mile race starts in Brooklyn at Prospect Park and makes its way up to Central Park in Manhattan.The event will include the first-ever friendly competition between NYPD and FDNY runners.
"One of the coolest elements of this year is going to be a historic commissioner's cup with two of our official honoring captains, Commissioner Kavanaugh and Commissioner Sewell who will act as honorary captains for this year's event," New York Road Runners Race Director Ted Metellus said.
The half marathon is one of only two events that causes Times Square to be shut down during the year. The event will also see more than 1,000 kids running about a mile through Times Square for the Times Square Kids Run at the United Airlines NYC Half, which organizers and participants say they hope inspires them to take up the sport.
