Walk the Walk in the city that never sleeps...

The New York City Marathon is where it all started for Walk the Walk back in 1996 and we have been back nearly every year since... it’s amazing and still very much a favourite; we can promise you an experience that you will never forget!

A 26.2 mile Marathon through all 5 boroughs of New York City... what a way to see the sites! Starting from Staten Island across the Verrazano Bridge into Brooklyn, onto Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan.

You see it all... from the iconic beauty of the Statue of Liberty to crossing the Finish Line in the famous Central Park!

The support and cheering along the route, is like no other, an experience you do not want to miss... 1000's upon 1000's of New Yorkers cheering you by name, all the way to the finish line... just WOW!

Go on... Take a bite out of the Big Apple, smash a personal goal, achieve a winners medal, and create lots of memories... all whilst making a big difference to those living with cancer!

Expect to be blown away! It's an amazing marathon!
