Jersey City Marathon 2025 road closures, route map and results for Sunday's race
Runners are lacing up for the
2025 Jersey City Marathon and Half Marathon
on Sunday, which means there are road closures throughout the city.
The 2025 route, which is a 2026 Boston Marathon qualifying event, takes runners through the New Jersey city's diverse and culturally-rich neighborhoods.
Here's what to know as the third annual race gets underway, including street closures, a map of the route and where to find the results.
The marathon starts at 7 a.m. in the Newport neighborhood on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
Runners should be onsite by 6 a.m., but those who purchased the option to
pick up a bib
on the day of the race should arrive closer to 5 a.m. to avoid the crowds.
Bag check
opens at 5:30 a.m. and closes promptly at 7 a.m., according to the race organizers.
Runners must be on a 15 minute/mile pace or faster in order to finish,
organizers say
. The Half Marathon finish line closes at 10:30 a.m., while the full Marathon finish line closes at 1:35 p.m.
The starting line for the full and half marathon is in the Newport Center, at the corner of Washington Boulevard and North Garage Driveway, across from the Newport PATH station. Both races finish at the Newport Green area, but runners in the full marathon complete a second loop before ending at the green.
This is along the part of the Hudson River where a helicopter carrying six people
crashed into the water
on Thursday. It was not immediately clear if the crash and
NTSB investigation
would impact the race.
Here's a map of the course:
The marathon is a USA Track & Field sanctioned event with a certified course. In fact, the course is one of the fastest and flattest in the U.S., organizers say.
For spectators, the best places to watch are near the start and finish lines, and on Grand Street, organizers say.

Bloomquist, a 2002 National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame inductee, was the pilot and sole occupant of a a two-seat 1938 Piper J3 aircraft that crashed into a barn on his family's property Aug. 16 in Mooresburg, Tenn.

"The airplane subsequently impacted a barn adjacent to the airstrip. The airplane sustained substantial damage, and the fuselage was mostly consumed by the postimpact fire that ensued. "The pilot was fatally injured. ... The autopsy report listed the cause of death as blunt force injuries and the manner of death as suicide." According to the report, Bloomquist did not have a pilot's certificate. Bloomquist's family issued a statement to Fox Sports coinciding with the report's release.
