How to get to the start (Staten Island) on race day?
To get to the start of the New York Marathon, you take the Staten Island ferry at Whitehall Terminal (about 25 minutes), then a shuttle. Other buses leave from Midtown, in the heart of New York (about 90 minutes), and from New Jersey. Book your time slot in September: the New York Marathon does not allow drop-off by car.
