The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon kicks off on Sunday, Nov. 1, as tens of thousands of athletes tackle the iconic 26.2-mile course. For spectators seeking precise timing on the final stretch, ABC7 New York will launch its “Find Your Finish” live stream at 10:00 a.m. ET. This dedicated broadcast focuses exclusively on the Central Park finish line, allowing viewers to watch runners cross the goal in real-time without navigating through general race coverage.
Track runners across all five boroughs with ABC7’s dedicated Find Your Finish coverage.
The historic route begins in Staten Island, traversing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge before weaving through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Since leaving Central Park for the five-borough layout in 1976 to mark the U.S. bicentennial, the event has evolved from a modest four-lap park run with 55 finishers into a global sporting phenomenon. The 2026 edition continues this tradition, offering a comprehensive view of the race’s full geographic span while maintaining the emotional climax at the park’s finish line.
For those who miss the live action, ABC7 will provide on-demand video clips post-race to help families locate specific participants. This service ensures that even if you cannot tune in at the 10:00 a.m. start of the finish-line coverage, you can still capture the moment your friend, family member, or self completes the grueling distance. The combination of live streaming and post-event archives makes this the most accessible way to follow the NYC Marathon 2026 from start to finish.
