About the TCS New York City Marathon

The TCS New York City Marathon is the premier event of New York Road
Runners (NYRR) and the largest marathon in the world. Held annually on
the first Sunday in November, the race features the world’s top
professional athletes and a vast range of competitive, recreational, and
charity runners. The race began in 1970 with just 127 entrants running
four laps around Central Park, and expanded citywide in 1976. In 2014, a
record 50,530 runners from 130 countries toured New York City’s five
boroughs, starting on Staten Island at the foot of the Verrazano-Narrows
Bridge, and running through the neighborhoods of Brooklyn, Queens, and
the Bronx, before ending in Manhattan at the iconic Central Park finish
line. More than one million spectators line the city streets to cheer on
the runners, while millions more watch the live television broadcast in
the United States and around the world. The race is part of the Abbott
World Marathon Majors, a series featuring the world’s top
marathons—Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York—and
crowning the top professional male and female marathoners of the series.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading global IT services,
consulting, and business solutions organization, is the premier partner
of NYRR and the title sponsor of the TCS New York City Marathon. To
