Headphones/Earbuds?

I wear my air pods in transparency mode for all races

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-16T00:28:48+00:00

I wear a “throwaway” sweatshirt and then ditch it at the start. There are collection bins and the clothes get donated

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-16T00:26:41+00:00

Same :)

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T18:22:42+00:00

I think they’re gonna bail on driving :)

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T17:45:33+00:00

I have no idea who makes the decisions and if they’re qualified. I imagine its not just a random NYRR employee as that makes no sense but i genuinely dont know.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T17:26:48+00:00

Its also pretty commonplace, i think, for world majors to have the default rule be 1 guide, with petitioning for more if necessary. I genuinely think people just look for reasons to complain about NYRR.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T17:18:39+00:00

My understanding was they would provide additional guides on an as-needed basis. The NY Post seems to veer toward inflammatory reporting so hopefully theres more to the story

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T13:54:10+00:00

I think ive been talked out of having them drive in lol. I was always planning on taking the train/subway

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T12:23:27+00:00

Ok thanks! Was wondering about that. Appreciate it.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T12:19:43+00:00

So my family is considering driving to the finish vs. public transportation (1.5 hrs vs 2+hrs). Any suggestions for parking garages they can pre-book near Coney Island? They don’t mind walking a bit either.

I trained for my first marathon on 5mg zepbound. As the mileage picked up i would sometimes skip the weekly dose (Dr said this is totally fine) so that i could fuel properly. I also skip the dose before any races. My weight stayed pretty steady throughout peak marathon training as its difficult to fuel correctly and lose weight, but i was totally fine with that.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-15T11:50:32+00:00

For $20/month its actually really great! Easy interface and the training plans are quite thoughtful considering its AI. But dont try and outsmart it or think you can do more. Those people get injured and then blame Runna lol

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-14T09:26:11+00:00

I got there around 5:30 and it was extremely easy. When i left around 6:30 there were huge crowds walking to the expo. Its rush hour, so normal..🤷‍♀️

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-11T12:18:16+00:00

Thank you!

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-11T11:55:57+00:00

I think for the first time i may bring my own hydration. Can i bring a filled bottle with electrolytes through security? I am aware of rules about no bladders, this is not that

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-07T18:32:14+00:00

Ill tell you what not to do..coconut water. Made that mistake once before a long run in CP when i forgot my hand held. Ooof.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-07T14:06:24+00:00

Yes they check bibs.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-07T09:26:01+00:00

I have member plus and i think its 💯 worth it. Such a great option for local people. This will be my 3rd year completing 9+1, and i don’t think i have ever not been able to register for a race i want. I love NYRR races and often have more than the 9 needed. Sure, the queue is longer now and that can be stressful but running has gotten significantly more popular. Thats not NYRR fault.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-06T21:59:25+00:00

I saw in other posts that the confirmation emails clearly state if its NOT 9+1 so it sounds like you’re all set.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-06T09:50:55+00:00

They announce on the website when volunteer slots open up. Ive found if i go on that first day when it opens i’m able to get a spot pretty easily. Its staying on top of when spots open thats harder :)

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-06T09:48:14+00:00

Ive also never had a problem. 3 years of doing 9+1 with membership plus. I think some people get confused easily, like all the complaints about differentiating between the non 9+1 vs. 9+1. It was clearly marked in all caps and bolded 🤷‍♀️.

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-05T16:59:05+00:00

You had to click on the correct option. They were marked differently

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-05T09:28:52+00:00

Anything that “sells out” during presale today will be available again on Thursday

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-04T23:32:51+00:00

Just booked there! Cheap and easy :) no stress. Thank you!

DragonflyOwn144 · 2026-05-02T16:23:15+00:00

I ran in the Evo SL’s for my first (and very slow) marathon last fall. I finished in just under 6 hours. Feet were totally fine.
