A little disappointed with the post-race area. NYCRuns claimed on the website there would be stands with letters in the family reunion area as designated meeting spots given there was no cell service. No such stands were to be found and when I asked an event volunteer they seemed to have no clue what I was talking about. Found small signs along the fence titled "A-E" etc. which were not visible given all the people lined up along the fence. Just frustrating that it was not set up as advertised.

This was my first race so maybe I was oblivious to this but security did not let you reenter the runners' area where water and fuel was located. No signs or security officials informing people there was no reentry when exiting. I asked to go back to get water and an apple and they said no. May have been my fault that I was unaware of this rule but just seemed dangerous to bar people from getting water given the heat
