From Staten Island to Central Park via Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and The Bronx, the New York City Marathon has come a long way since its earliest edition in 1970, when 55 people completed laps of Central Park. After its cancellation last year, its return is being heralded by New Yorkers as a symbolic moment for the city, and you can read on as our guide explains how to watch a 2021 New York Marathon live stream from anywhere in the world.
As well as the “comeback” edition, this is also the 50th ever New York Marathon and the last of this year’s World Marathon Majors.
It’s a slight shame, then, that the race itself has been restricted to 33,000 runners – but with the party in full swing you’ll barely notice the difference.
Women’s Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir is taking part for the first time, while Kibiwott Kandie will be an intriguing watch in the elite men’s race, the half-marathon supremo racing in a full marathon for the first time.
And as ever, keep an ear out for the theme from Rocky, a traditional mainstay of the event courtesy of the Bishop Loughlin High School Band.

If you’re abroad right now, you’ll likely find you’re unable to access your usual marathon coverage like you would at home.
