Closeby and within walking distance are other iconic attractions such as Broadway Theatre, Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall and more. The Javits Convention Center, the venue of the race expo can be accessed in less than 20 mins using public transport close to the hotel. The recently upgraded property features an eclectic collection of custom designed furniture in rooms that are much larger than most hotels in Manhattan.

Before You Go

Things you need to know

FAQs

Q.1 Is the race entry guaranteed if I book a package through Active Holiday Company? Open or Close

Yes, all of our World Marathon Major packages come with guaranteed race entry.

Q.2 What happens if the race is cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak? Open or Close

After two years of refunding entries, offering deferrals at a small charge / no charge, all World Major Marathon races have gone back to the old policy of no refund on race entries. This is the condition even if the event cancels. However having held the event safely in 2021 chances that the event will cancel in 2022 are remote. While there are chances that travel may continue to be affected from certain countries with little or no notice should the event be cancelled for 2022, we will contact you as soon as we know and offer the options available to us if they are any different from 'no refund, no deferral'. The exact option available will depend on the race organiser. We may retain a small administrative fee to cover our expenses.

Q.3 Will my travel insurance cover the cancellation fee in case of a cancellation - cancelled by me or on the event organisers part? Open or Close

Most Indian insurance providers cover a very small part of the cancellation fee. The exact coverage will be detailed in the conditions of your insurance policy and we encourage you to check whether you can make a claim with them directly.

Q.4 Can I book extra nights before or after the race? Open or Close

Your booking is for 3 nights/4 days from 4th November - 7th November 2022
Please check with us regarding your extended stay. We do not hold a block for pre and post-stay but we will do our best to obtain a confirmation for you so your stay remains uninterrupted.

Q.5 Will I have to collect my own bib? Open or Close

Yes, all the World Major Marathons require that the participants attend the expo in person and collect their bibs. Your travel documents will contain detailed instructions on how to get to and from the expo from your hotel.

Q.6 This is my Sixth WMM, how do i receive a six star medal at the finish? Open or Close

If you have booked your sixth and final Abbott WMM race, kindly let us know. We will guide you through the process and ensure you receive a medal at the finish.

Q.7 Can I check-in early? Open or Close

Check-in time is 3 pm on the day of arrival at both the hotel. Early check-in is subject to availability at the time of arrival. The marathon weekend is a very busy time for all accommodation and if you are arriving early and you would like a room ready upon arrival you will need to book and pay for it from the previous night.

Q.8 What category of hotels are used? Open or Close

The 3-star hotel we are using for the New York marathons is a mid-segment luxury property chosen for its location and facilities

Q.9 I am a solo traveller, is it possible for me to find someone to share my room with? Open or Close

We have several single runners interested in sharing a room with another runner and, wherever possible, we try to pair up people who have requested rooms on twin share. However, please keep in mind that this is not a guarantee and in some cases you might be required to take a single supplement. If you have a friend who is already on the group you'd like to share your room with please let us know your preference at the time of making the booking so we can pair you together.
The option to share your room with another runner is possible only at the NH Hotel which offers twin beds. Motel One only has double beds that cannot be separated.

Q.10 Is it possible for me to buy just the race entry and make my own accommodation arrangements? Open or Close

As Tour Operators, we are required to sell the race entry along with accommodation. It will not be possible to buy just the race entry.

Q.11 I’ve got the race entry through the Ballot / Charity, can I buy the accommodation from Active Holiday Company? Open or Close

Yes, it is possible for you to stay with our marathon group if you already have the entry or if you are travelling with a non-running companion. However, please note that this will be at the same hotel as the rest of the group travelling on our package.

Q.12 I am taking the race package through Active Holiday Company, is it possible for me to upgrade my accommodation? Open or Close

No, it is not possible for us to book your stay elsewhere. We plan our trips so that the whole group stays together at a single hotel so it will not be possible to upgrade hotels since you are part of a group booking.

Q.13 I cannot attend this race. Is it possible for me to transfer my registration to another runner? Open or Close

The New York marathon does not allow runners to transfer their spots to another runner or to another year close to race day. We can however transfer the race entry to another runner up to 12-14 weeks before the race. Please see the conditions to see the exact date.

Q.14 Is it possible for me to defer my registration to the following year? Open or Close

New York City Marathon does not permit runners to defer their registration if it is a guaranteed spot from a Tour Operator.

Q.15 Will you be able to assist me with visas and air tickets? Open or Close

Yes, we can help you with visas and flight tickets for an additional charge. Please get in touch with us for details.

    New York Marathon 2024

    It was an awesome trip with details worked out to the Tee. The logistics and pre-planning are always the best. Master pack list and travel document meticulously done.

    The ah-ha moment on the trip

    Getting the Travel document on time

    Feedback on the trip guide

    The guided tour was well below par

    Tips for future travellers for this trip

    Not to plan for any baggage drop for the 5k as well as for the FM.

    Other miscellaneous information that can help future travellers

    The hotel should have a kettle in each room booked by AHC. The hotel has got about 50 kettles as we gathered the info. So let AHC participants be the priority ones to get it.

    TCS NYC Marathon 2024

    Once again, very happy and satisfied with the trip with Active Holidays for the NYC Marathon! Overall, very well organised and conducted! Supremely appreciated by all runners of the group. The 10 page travel information booklet which gave all the information in consolidated form was an excellent resource. The Webinar prior to travel helped a lot as did the route recce webinar by the coaches!

    The ah-ha moment on the trip

    The location and status of the Hotel🤩🤩👌👌
    The T-shirt this time is excellent quality.
    The transfers to the Ferry, which was immaculately planned

    Feedback on the trip guide

    Very well organised morning guided tour to the finish line!

    Tips for future travellers for this trip

    Especially for the NYC marathon, be sure you choose only the ITO Ferry as these are well coordinated by the ITO Team as well Active Holidays. For the other modalities, you are in your own so that can be a challenge on the race day.

    Other miscellaneous information that can help future travellers

    The hotel was very well chosen and the rooms were indeed very comfortable and had all amenities. Compared to the Chicago Hotel, this one was far superior and had excellent location. The travel document was very well designed and presented. It had all the info and we referred to it many times during our trip.
    Special mention of Suraj, who was always helpful during the planning as well once we reached NYC. Gauri, of course, was at her best despite her health status. She made sure all the aspects were covered during the briefings as well as one on one doubts with her. Pleasure to travel with Active Holidays for the WMMs!👏👏👌👌
