The Reckson LI Marathon/Half Marathon will take to the streets of Nassau County on May 7. The event, the 15th largest half marathon and 75th largest race in the United States, will begin at 8 a.m. on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, across from the Nassau Coliseum, and head west passing Nassau County's "Museum Row," the Mitchel Athletic Complex and Reckson's Omni Building, before heading north to embark on a journey through Westbury.
Participants will continue up Post Avenue until they reach Jericho Turnpike where they will head east. After turning south on Brush Hollow Road and entering the Wantagh Parkway south, half marathoners and full marathoners will split near the 10-mile mark. Half marathoners will exit the parkway heading south on Carmen Avenue and return to Eisenhower Park via the golf course. Full marathoners will continue south on the Wantagh Parkway where they will u-turn and head back up to Old Country Road. Full marathon participants will then exit the parkway on Old Country Road heading west, re-enter the Wantagh heading south and follow the same Carmen Avenue route back to Eisenhower.
