The New York Road Runners, a nonprofit that manages the New York City Marathon, is growing its headquarters by Central Park to about 48,000 square feet, according to Crain’s. This is a 20 percent increase from its current size of about 40,000 square feet.

The group will use the extra space in its building at 156 West 56th Street to give its employees more room, host conferences and set up facilities for media production.
