So get fit, get sponsored and take on this 13.1 mile (21km) run through Manhattan. The half-marathon is also a great opportunity to decide whether you want to do the full marathon in November. Use it as a training session, a practice-run or just enjoy the day. The race loops through Manhattan's magnificent Central Park, which provides a stunning backdrop for a summer's run. Expect lots of enthusiastic bystanders to cheer you on (New Yorkers love to run and they also love to cheer) and plenty of strategic water stops along the way.
