EDM superstar, John Summit and thousands of runners—from youth athletes to professional elites—raced from the United Nations on East 42nd Street to the TCS New York City Marathon finish line in Central Park on Saturday, November 1, 2025, for the Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K and USATF 5K Championships.
The event was organized by New York Road Runners (NYRR), the nonprofit that “runs” New York City producing 60 annual adult and youth races including the TCS New York City Marathon. The tradition, which has taken place since 2010, gives runners from around the world the opportunity to cross the iconic TCS New York City Marathon finish line a day before more than 55,000 do.
Taking place Sunday, Nov. 2, the TCS New York City Marathon is one of the most inclusive and accessible sporting events in the world, with more than 55,000 athletes running the same course on the same day—from the first to the final finisher—and two million spectators lining the streets of New York City. Last year’s race set an event record with 55,642 finishers, which at the time was the largest marathon in world history.
