The New York City Marathon is expected to field as many as 50,000 runners across all five boroughs of the city for Sunday's 26.2-mile run.

The International Business Times reports that the world's largest marathon meant $415 million to the local economy last year and all early indications are that this year's windfall could prove just as lucrative.

The run is slated to kick off in Staten Island, then continue through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and back to Manhattan, eventually ending in Central Park. Start times are 9:20 a.m. (ET) for women and 9:50 a.m. for men.

Several roads and bridges across the city will be closed throughout much of the day, including the Verrazano Bridge, and city officials are encouraging residents to consult the MTA's trip planner website for the best options in planning to and from.

Residents and visitors can watch the race along the run route and cheering zones will be set up along the course where supporters can display signs and partake in live entertainment.

Locally, the race will be broadcast on WABC-TV from 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and ESPN will also provide extensive coverage with live stream coverage HERE. All results will also be posted on the official TCS New York City Marathon website.

On the men's side, Kenya's Wilson Kipsang (winning time of 2 hours, 10 minutes and 59 seconds) returns to defend his crown manage and on the women's side Kenya's Mary Keitany's (2 hours, 25 minutes and 7 seconds) looks to hold on to her title.

Among the celebrities entered in this year's field are songstress Alicia Keys, actor Ethan Hawke and former pro athletes Tiki Barker and James Blake.
