Driving during NYC Marathon

We made plans to go to NJ and then later found out that it's the same day as the NYC Marathon. Do you think we should change dates or is it possible to get to NJ through the city since Verazanno will be closed?

Any advise?
Thanks!

You can get to NJ via the GW Bridge, Holland Tunnel or Lincoln Tunnel.

Thanks! I think the GW may be the best way b/c getting to the Holland or Lincoln may be harder with a lot of the NYC streets closed

LOL! Of course... I gotta give it to them. I have a couple of friends racing and they are dedicated. I love to jog, but a mile and I'm good. Chat Icon
