Directions
There’s only one way to get to the island – the Governor’s Island ferry, and your ferry ride is included in your race registration. You must arrive at the Battery Maritime Building at 10 South St. no later than 7:30 AM to check in and you must have your race bib.  The 4,5, R, and 1 trains are closest to the ferry terminal.  Please note, the ferry is only for registered runners with visible race bibs.  Information regarding the spectator access to the Governor’s Island public ferry will be posted as soon as it is available.

Please check MTA Trip Planner for up to date and detailed mass transit directions and Google Maps for driving directions.
