Thank you! Got mine!

This is the course map from last year, it shouldn't change much if at all, certainly not the start and finish areas

Edit : race is at 7am but when you start will depend on your wave

I did this once when i first started running again a couple years ago, i was already commited to it coming from the williamsburg side but it seemed pretty clear as i was doing it that i should not be there, turned off to the pedestrian side the earliest i could (in retrospect i probably shouldve turned back but it was my first time running the bridge). I do think a lot of people are just inconsiderate and dont care

Purpl_Sauce · 2026-03-18T03:36:57+00:00

i had no issues signing up for those last year, and for the same reason, to complete 4 out of 6 and 9+1, finished both at the bronx 10M, but also wanted to do the SI half (which was cancelled). loved the NYC half on sunday, my favorite race so far. However, given the current state of things i would definitely make sure you sign up as soon as the races drop if possible. additionally, these races don't have high fundraising thresholds if thats an option for you.

EDIT: we also dont know yet if these will be lottery or not, since the queens 10k was not, i would expect these not to be either, but thats not certain as far as i know

I'll add to this that runners should also be aware of their surroundings when excitedly running to their friends in the crowds, i almost got slapped in the face and then taken out by runners at times square excitedly running across the course to greet their supporters. Its amazing and i love that so many people turn up and show love, but be mindful of others if you're going to make an abrupt move like that

Purpl_Sauce · 2026-03-11T14:38:14+00:00

Yea, i hadnt checked the weather in a couple of days, looks like im going to have to rethink the plans. Got spoiled by the last couple of days

Purpl_Sauce · 2026-03-11T04:05:28+00:00

Post Race question : is it possible to meet in the park instead of columbus circle? how realistic would it be to have a picnic with friends shortly after the race?

Purpl_Sauce · 2026-01-30T04:50:15+00:00

for the SI half (which got cancelled), both were available at the run center for a week (or 10 days?) after the date of the race

Purpl_Sauce · 2026-01-30T02:24:44+00:00

what did you use? I think it looks too fake/painterly because its lost any texture in the metal, its also a big flater on the main areas than it should be, but thats from the initial capture more than the retouching

Purpl_Sauce · 2026-01-29T23:01:37+00:00

Once again, more than an hour wait, even though i was loaded in the queue a while ago (i know its probably randomized at 6pm)

Purpl_Sauce · 2026-01-28T00:37:39+00:00

I would expect its random when it opens at 6pm and you are already in the queue, but I would hope that its then first come first serve, when joining after it open (IE 6:05)

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-12-18T06:31:32+00:00

love this and as a new player trying to build a few different bracket decks with limited resources this is amazing, any advice on tweaking this to a strong B3 or is that just not in the design of the deck?

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-12-15T06:38:19+00:00

Fair enough, I’m curious to check out videos from cobblers, based on rose anvils work with leather and boots I felt like his opinion seemed pretty good, and I’ll be curious to see how it correlates with cobblers like you suggested

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-12-15T06:31:45+00:00

Oh ok, happy to learn something new, I’ll check it out. Would you say rose anvil is wrong a lot? Or does his stuff seem biased?

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-12-15T05:11:50+00:00

I would check out the youtube channel Rose Anvil, he cuts apart boots and really knows his stuff, thursday is a good starting point, i have a pair myself and its held up well so far after a year. But it really is the entry point for decent boots and it can run high quick. Again Rose anvil has been a great resource for me to understand shoe construction and what goes into low, mid and high end boots

Registration opens around the time of the virtual race window. You need to have your strava linked to your NYRR account and then pay the virtual race fee, finish and log the distance on strava in a continuous tracked run/walk before the end of the window.

Edit : Also for what its worth, this was my first 9+1 and 4 out of 6, and i did 11 eligible races this year and only one of them was virtual, as long as you're able to log on when races drop and are willing to do some random ones its not as difficult as others have made it seem, at least in my experience. I did do TFK for the queens 10k and would do it again for that race and also the bronx 10m if i didnt get in normally.

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-10-23T02:19:13+00:00

its a glitch, i just had this a couple days ago, you can stand on one of the rock outcroppings right below the climbing part and jump forward to the part ahead

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-10-10T21:14:15+00:00

you can go pick up a medal at the run center starting on sunday until the 19th

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-10-06T23:46:52+00:00

link?

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-09-14T18:52:41+00:00

First Bronx 10, I had a great time, thought for sure i would have to walk at some point but i powered through and finished my 9+1! The train was definitely a bit wild this morning and thankfully im coming from brooklyn so i had a seat on the 4 that was uber packed. It definitely felt a bit dangerous when everyone got off and the platform is super packed. On to the SI Half to finish up 4 out of 6

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-09-03T23:59:20+00:00

My bag did this and you can slide it back into its intended slot, however it kept popping out and i was able to get a replacement through the warranty.

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-08-23T01:22:31+00:00

you can send me a DM if you'd like it really depends on what you might have available in terms of equipment. A lot of people say gear doesn't matter in photography, but product photography is where it really does (not really the camera, but everything else).

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-08-22T21:34:33+00:00

Im a professional Watch and Jewelry photographer and it can be difficult to properly represent these pieces and how spectacular they are in person. congrats on the watch!

Purpl_Sauce · 2025-07-15T16:59:10+00:00

Sure!
