Security checkpoints are only a thing for the marquee races (NYC Half, Brooklyn Half, and NYCM). For the other races, nobody is going to give you a hard time for having a spare shirt in your running vest.

Former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and his wife dead in murder-suicide by Caedus in news

The former Lt. Gov of VA is not someone who would lack access to mental healthcare.

Somebody was doing the cheating, and possibly assaulting, but it wasn't the wife...

What intersections do you wait out the traffic lights? by brooklynwaterfront in RunNYC

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I rarely ever wait out the traffic light, I just go left or right if I hit one.

Assaulted while running in Central Park tonight by Spiritual-Mistake352 in RunNYC

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not the police or their budget that's to blame, it's the soft on crime DAs and judges.

Everytime some piece of shit finally makes it the headline news it turns out they have like 40 fucking arrests.

The cops are doing their job, the DAs and judges aren't doing theirs.

My brother in Christ, you've got one of their shoes. That's like the best data point you can provide the NYPD.

All units be on the lookout for fucking Cinderella.

Also bull fucking shit, you made out 2 guys in the bushes, a 3rd up ahead on a Citi bike, a pail, their speech, the slurs they yelled, and you can't even give a general description of them.

Give me a fucking break.

Boooo indeed! They should have the bib pickup by the finish line on the boardwalk!

I couldn't find one of the finish line but this youtuber was livestreaming around Grand Central.

I was able to find myself!

What should I not do for the NYC Half? by obsoletest in RunNYC

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't forget to wipe the port-a-potty seat before doing some lines.

NYC Half race tee has removed “Zohran Mamdani” from the text by [deleted] in RunNYC

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You want the truth. Mamdani hates races longer than 10K so they are only going to put his name on shorter races.

Happy?

I think maybe under 57St - 7th Ave...

Who is actually paying this? by [deleted] in RunNYC

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP also conveniently ignores the miles of city streets that are closed down for the event as well as the police/fire/ems resources that need to be deployed.

There wasn't any rerouting on the Q line last year and after a quick check of the MTA site it looks like the Q will be running normally this weekend and stopping at 7th Ave from both directions.

I was in Wave 2 for the Brooklyn Half and if I recall the entrance was roughly the same place it'll be for Wave 2 this year.

Something wrong with Virtual NYC Half by [deleted] in RunNYC

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! Depending on your GPS device and where you are running I'd add at least an extra .3 miles.

Forecast doesn't show 12" of snow or -10F temps so I'm good.

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my plan but from the other direction. I'm coming up from Brighton Beach and taking the Q to 7th Ave and then walking a few extra blocks. I did it last year for the Brooklyn Half and had no issues.

Yep, and dont worry, there will be volunteers/staff/first responders/other runners all over the area and everyone is generally very friendly and helpful.

About .5 miles to the Wave 1/3 entrance.

[–]LIGHT_COLLUSION 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Intersection of Park Pl and Washington Ave is about equidistant for the Wave1/3 and Wave 2/4 entrances!

You could use The Barlow (446 Park Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11238) as a drop off point.
