TCS New York City Marathon Official AbbottWMM Package
If you have questions regarding the Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbottWMM) Six Star Journey TCS New York City Marathon Package please: Email Our Team!
As the Official Travel Agency and Tour Operator of AbbottWMM, we have created packages specifically designed for those who have been selected in their drawing or for those who have secured their own entry and are on their Six Star Journey.
Starting out in 1970, the New York City Marathon has evolved from a local road race held entirely in Central Park to what is now the world’s largest marathon with a course that runs 26.2 miles through the five boroughs of New York City. Starting from the spectacular Verrazano Narrows Bridge on Staten Island and passing through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx before finishing in Central Park, it’s one of the ‘Big Six’ Abbott World Marathon Majors and a marathon with a very generous time limit to finish of 8 hours plus.
Our AbbottWMM Six Star Journey Package is available to anyone who already secured their own entry. This special package includes hotel accommodations for three nights at the Hyatt Centric Times Square, a welcome reception, a pre-race pasta dinner and a transfer by coach bus to the start. Please note to book this package, you must have a confirmed entry to the TCS New York City Marathon.
