Friends of ABS Engineering! Employees, Clients, Colleagues, Friends, and Family.

What is the ABS < Marathon?

A fun run/walk of any distance that you want to take on! You can do the full marathon route, or anything less…

Are you up for pushing yourself to take on a distance that is challenging for you? Are you down for fun social event to get to know your fellow collaborators in an “outside of work event”?

Whatever you want to make of ABS < Marathon we’re just happy for you to participate in whatever capacity makes it an enjoyable and rewarding day for YOU!

Tentatively scheduled for Saturday, October 3rd.

Start times and locations vary based on distance and pace.

We recommend you plan your start time/location by working backwards from the finish, based on your estimated pace, so that you can reach the end around 12:00pm (noon).

See our new 2026 course map link below.

Starting at ABS Engineering HQ (37 West 37th Street), finishing in Central Park (77th Street on the West Side)

Afterwards, we will meet for celebratory food and drinks at _________.

In 2020, when all the races were cancelled, rather than do the Virtual NYC Marathon all alone, we thought that everyone might want to escape their lockdown for a safe outdoor event. To make this a more inclusive event, we invited everyone to join the run, regardless of the distance you wanted to run (…or walk).

We also debuted with a few relay teams which completed the full distance across a team of sequential runners (BYOB = bring your own baton!). This is a fun way to run as a team to complete the full distance, and we hope to see some relay teams again this year!

2026 will be the 7th annual ABS < Marathon. Lace up and come be a part of this enduring tradition!
