NYC Marathon 2025 Street Closures

Don’t get stuck. These streets in all five will be closed to traffic for the 2025 NYC Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 3, and bridges also are closed to everybody except the 50,000+ runners.

But you are invited to join as many as one million spectators cheering on strangers and family members in the race. It’s a city-wide party.

Best spots to watch the runners.
