The start times for the 2025 New York City Marathon are as follows, with races beginning in Staten Island and progressing toward Central Park:

• 8:00 a.m. – Men’s Professional Wheelchair Division
• 8:02 a.m. – Women’s Professional Wheelchair Division
• 8:22 a.m. – Handcycle Category and Select Athletes with Disabilities
• 8:35 a.m. – Professional Women’s Open Division
• 9:05 a.m. – Professional Men’s Open Division
• 9:10 a.m. – Wave 1
• 9:45 a.m. – Wave 2
• 10:20 a.m. – Wave 3
• 10:55 a.m. – Wave 4
• 11:30 a.m. – Wave 5

Notes:

• The race takes place on Sunday, November 2, 2025, with daylight saving time ending that weekend, so clocks fall back one hour early Sunday morning. This effectively gives runners an extra hour of sleep before the start.

• The course starts in Fort Wadsworth (Staten Island), crosses the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn, then proceeds through Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan before finishing in Central Park.

If you need, I can tailor this to a specific view (live tracking, spectator tips, or weekend road closures) or convert times to your local time zone.
