What to know

  • The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon modifies its five-borough route for the first time since 2011, with changes concentrated in the Bronx.
  • The new route avoids blocking a supermarket from neighborhood access during the race, addressing a longstanding issue with the previous course design.
  • The change is minimal and involves runners continuing straight on Alexander Avenue rather than turning left on E 138th Street.

“The old course had previously looped around a block that included a supermarket, which effectively cut it off from people in the neighborhood during the race.”

    Details emerge on why route changed

    The previous course looped around a block containing a supermarket, effectively blocking neighborhood residents from accessing it during the race. The new route avoids the grocery store by having runners turn right on Alexander Avenue and continue straight instead of making a left on E 138th Street.

    “For the first time in 15 years, the iconic five-borough course of the TCS New York City Marathon is changing -- but only slightly.”
