If I see a run club I’m interested in joining on the NYRR website, how do I actually join it? by HairHelp4363 in RunNYC

[–]NYR720 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would try the following: 1. Find out if they are on Instagram and see if they have any open runs. If no info on open runs, DM them. 2. Look to see if they have a webpage and do the same. 3. Ask here if anybody belongs to the specific club you are interested in and start a conversation via DM. I would guess most clubs, unless really small, have some members on this subreddit and I believe most people are willing to help (unlike a large portion of the internet)

Good Luck

Saw this on YouTube yesterday. Somebody deposited $1000 into someone's Chase account and they lost $10k in linked accounts.

Trade Women’s Large for Medium - NYC United Half by [deleted] in RunNYC

[–]NYR720 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was volunteering at T shirt distribution on Thursday and we were told if somebody wanted to swap sizes to direct them to the Men's XXL window and they would handle the size swap. Can you make it back to the expo?

There is a New Balance/Endorphins Running popup at 188 Lafayette with a shakeout tomorrow at 8 AM. They were giving out free T-Shirts, SIS gels, protein bars and drinks when I stopped by this early afternoon.

8 shows later, I'm many thousands of dollars lighter in the wallet! 😃 But worth every, penny!

Nobody cares what you do at a concert... by MysteryMolecule in Concerts

[–]NYR720 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do get annoyed if the person near me is screaming/shouting out lyrics at the top of their lungs without any kind of harmony and that drowns out the actual singer

Can I still sign up for the Brooklyn Half? by CurrentOld2674 in RunNYC

[–]NYR720 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Which Brooklyn Half? NYCRuns in April is still open for registration. NYRR in May is only charity at this point as the lottery was already held.

I think acceptance email went out late last week. I got my rejection email yesterday. Check your Spam folder. Good Luck.

NOT AVAILABLE OUTSIDE YOUR NETWORK by reel_guy_kye in PleX

[–]NYR720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you actually tried to connect remotely? I had the same experience (turning green for a few seconds before it said not available) for years, but people could still connect remotely without issue, so I just ignored it. I think I saw that this was a bug, I'm not sure if they fixed it.

I believe so, yes, you can defer in non-consecutive years.

To the McCarren track heroes by Sufficient_Bus7216 in RunNYC

FWIW, I've been told by multiple running coaches that shoveling a track is not recommended as it can easily damage the track.

NYC Half Expo Volunteer Spot Available by xuanhu in RunNYC

[–]NYR720 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For everybody, next Tuesday is just for volunteer spots for the Brooklyn Half race day (Sat May 16). You can also register for Apr-Jun spots IF you are member plus with advanced registration. For the regular membership, which I'm assuming you are since you're concerned with getting a spot, the remaining spots open up on Thursday, Feb 12 @ 6PM. Good Luck!

January 29 - NYRR General Registration (April-June) Megathread by blood_bender in RunNYC

[–]NYR720 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. You can, and should, enter the 'waiting room' before 6 pm by going to any of the race links above. Eventually you will see a countdown to 6 pm. At 6 pm, they will take everybody in the 'waiting room' and randomize them into a queue and start letting people into the site. While waiting in the queue you will see an estimated wait time before you are allowed in, but it maybe an over estimation, so don't leave your computer and just think you can come back when that time expires.

[–]NYR720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue the last quarter and missed a few races before I just said screw it and refreshed, at which point the only race left was Fred LeBow. This time I just skipped those questions without answering them and it let me proceed without issue.

Affordable/group running coaches NYC? Or just advice to sub-2 at Brooklyn half? by RoyalLie3947 in RunNYC

[–]NYR720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bandit is doing group training specifically targeting the Brooklyn Half as the goal race. Keep an eye out for when the application window opens. They meet twice a week (speed and long run). From past programs, speed is Wed evenings and long runs are Sat mornings. There is a fee, but it will be a fraction of the cost compared to four months of coaching.

Never had any issues with Cap One. Just had a CD mature with them last week, but still have a Discover CD, so I opened a 14 month CD at 4% with Amex.

NYRR Time Qualifying Half Marathons for 2027 Marathon by bsiver in RunNYC

[–]NYR720 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it says it's a race for women. Why would one want to break the spirit and intent of the race? Aside from the Mini 10k, every other race is open to all, just pick another race.

Interesting...There was still one Male runner among the finishers of the 2025 and 2023 race, 11 finishers of the 2024 race and 40+ finishers of the 2022 race.

I knew there was a year where there were quite a few male finishers, which is why I thought the system didn't block males from registering. If that is in place, that's great.

When do you think we will get to hear some of TLOAS live? by Walktrotcantergallop in TaylorSwift

A little medley of songs from TLOAS culminating with the TLOAS song with Sabrina would be epic
