TCS New York City Marathon a Dash to the Finish Line 5K ti ponúkajú na jeden víkend dve odlišné vzdialenosti: celý 26.2-mile maratón a kratšiu 5K. Maratón sa koná prvú novembrovú nedeľu a prechádza všetkými piatimi mestskými časťami New York City. Láka to profesionálov, klubových bežcov, charitatívne tímy, začiatočníkov, aj bežcov z celého sveta, pričom mnohí získavajú štartové číslo cez lotériu. Záujem je obrovský: na posledných ročníkoch bolo desaťtisíce tých, čo to odbehli, a vyše 200,000 záujemcov. Pôvodne to bolo skromné podujatie v Central Parku so 127 štartujúcimi, asi 100 divákmi a 55 bežcami, čo to dobehli, a postupne sa to stalo jedným z Abbott World Marathon Majors. Založili to Fred Lebow a Vincent Chiappetta a ženy sa mohli zúčastniť od začiatku, aj keď ich výsledky neboli oficiálne zaznamenané. Dnes si vieš garantované štartovné zabezpečiť aj cez program 9+1 od NYRR, splnením časových limitov, viacnásobným odbehnutím NYC Marathonu, cez charitatívne členstvo, alebo zbieraním peňazí pre charitu. Dash to the Finish Line 5K je kratšia možnosť na ten istý bežecký víkend v New Yorku, pre tých, čo si chcú užiť atmosféru podujatia, ale bez celej maratónskej vzdialenosti.
