40 upcoming Half Marathon races found
Half marathons in New York City happen against a backdrop that no other racing scene quite replicates: park roads that are busy with runners at dawn, riverfront paths with water on one side and skyline on the other, and a fall season when the whole city seems to be training for something. That energy is contagious whether you are chasing a goal or just trying to cover 13.1 miles for the first time.
The city's routes are genuinely varied - smooth park drives in Central Park, flat Hudson River miles, rolling Brooklyn loops, and dirt cross country trails in the Bronx - so the character of a race here depends heavily on where in the five boroughs it takes you. Every race on this page comes with a shirt, so at minimum you leave with something to show for the effort.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
Entry is $30 across every race in this group - that is both the cheapest and the most expensive price listed, so there is no price variation to navigate here. None of these races have a scheduled price increase on record, so timing your registration is unlikely to save or cost you anything.
Fall, from September through November, is the busiest stretch with 16 races. January is the single busiest month with 6 races on the calendar. If you are building toward a fall race, that aligns with how the city itself trains - the buildup to major autumn events shapes the tempo of weekend long runs and organized events across all five boroughs.
All 40 races here say they give a shirt. None mention a finisher's medal, but that absence is not a definitive no - it simply means they have not published medal details. Worth checking with individual races if that matters to your decision.
None of the 40 races on this page have published finish results, so we have no measured finish-time data to share. You cannot use these races to benchmark your pace against a field, at least not from published results. If knowing where you land in the pack matters, look for races that post results and check their course page for cutoff times.
Every race here also offers a 5K, a 10K, and a 1 Mile option on the same day, which means you are not locked into 13.1 miles if race-day nerves hit or training falls short. Signing up for a half and having a shorter distance available as a fallback is a genuinely low-pressure way to approach a first attempt at the distance.
