The United Airlines NYC Half was held on the streets of New York City, Sunday, March 19, 2023. The 13.1-mile journey began in Brooklyn, went over the Manhattan Bridge, headed north on the FDR Drive, zipped through Times Square (only one of two times it is closed each year!) and finished in Central Park.

“As runners and longtime supporters of GallopNYC, we are excited to represent the organization in this year's Half Marathon. We are inspired by the therapeutic impact that the horses have for their riders and are honored to be a part of this mission.”
Michelle Griego
“My daughter was born in 2018 at an extremely premature age and we have had quite a complex medical journey since then. Through strength and perseverance, she has blown away expectations and jumped through every hurdle placed in front of her. We have been fortunate to have GallopNYC as one of her mainstay therapies which have aided in her tremendous progress. She is my daily inspiration and I’m honored to support GallopNYC on her behalf.”

“As a runner and the new executive director of GallopNYC, I am excited to join the United Airlines Half Marathon for my first official GallopNYC event. We look forward to raising funds for these terrific programs!”
