KIDS works with Sports Tours International, an Official International Travel Partner of the ING New York City Marathon for the UK and are able to offer our runners GUARANTEED ENTRIES. Typically, runners fly in to New York in the few days preceding the Marathon.  By arriving early, it gives you more time to settle in and adjust to the time zone; it also gives you a bit of time to explore New York. On Friday morning, reps lead a training/warm up run to anyone who wants to join in. They usually go to Central Park, so you will also see preparations for the Marathon taking place.  Friday evening sees the new Parade of Nations, a gathering of all the international runners.
