About the Unforgettable Staten Island Half Marathon!

The course runs along the waterfront boardwalk at South Beach, looping the same stretch several times. It is flat pavement with open water views, and because the route doubles back, spectators can catch runners more than once without moving very far.

The multi-loop layout also means the finish area stays lively throughout the morning. Runners tend to know when their people are coming around again, so the energy along the boards builds as the race goes on.

Common Questions About the The Unforgettable Staten Island Half Marathon!

Will I finish last at the Unforgettable Staten Island Half Marathon!?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:05:37, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:04:43, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Unforgettable Staten Island Half Marathon! a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (22 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Unforgettable Staten Island Half Marathon!?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:21:18 while the median finisher took 2:05:37. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
