Friday, March 15 – Welcome to New York City! Your Marathon Tours & Travel (MTT) team look forward to meeting you upon your arrival at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel. Once you check in, the afternoon is yours to enjoy. Today is a perfect day to make your way to the expo to collect your bib. Details regarding the United Airlines NYC Half Expo and bib pickup will be shared once available. We will look forward to seeing you this evening at our Welcome Reception. (Welcome reception included)
Saturday, March 16 - We start the day with an optional shakeout run through Central Park. The rest of the day is yours to explore the city or relax before the big day. From attending a Broadway show to walking across the Brooklyn Bridge there is no shortage of ways to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day weekend here in the ‘Big Apple’. If you have not made your way to the expo yet, please be sure to add this to your day agenda. Enjoy dinner on your own this evening at one of the many local restaurants.
Sunday, March 17– United Airlines NYC Half Day!
Luck of the Irish, it’s race day! This will be an early morning with public transport to the race start guided by your MTT Host. The United Airlines NYC Half starts in Brooklyn and passes through famous landmarks such as the Manhattan Bridge, Times Square, and Grand Central Station, before finishing at Central Park in Manhattan. Following the race, make your way back on your own to the hotel (approximately a 15-minute walk). Enjoy some well-deserved rest before we gather for a celebratory toast in the hotel lobby bar. The rest of the evening is free to experience one of the many fine restaurants in the city and enjoy some St. Patrick’s Day celebrations! (post-race drink included)
Monday, March 18 – Enjoy a leisurely morning before checking out by 12:00 PM.
