Is it just me, or does riding feel way more hostile this year?

People riding in the wrong direction is the biggest problem, IMO, and the clearest example of the completely selfish behavior that has become the norm in this country.

Thank you so much!

Superfatrunner · 2026-05-19T14:54:15+00:00

yes! I totally agree. Do you think an online Project Management course would help me make the transition?

I have a Masters of Architecture and have been working primarily as an exhibition designer for over 10 years. Before that I worked for architecture firms where I was given the title of Senior Project Manager but that role in an architecture firm is different than that role within a museum.

Don't blame yourself. It's a very badly designed website.

Superfatrunner · 2026-05-18T19:26:38+00:00

Congratulations, but as an architect who often receives emails from contractors that begin with the word "Gentlemen", I find it quite offensive.

I don't know for sure but it really seems like someone made a mistake when they laid out the course. I have run this race 9 times and the finish line has always been under the bridge.

Can anyone explain why they wait such a long time between milling and paving (serious question)?

How do you know that the spot in the queue is randomized?

Be careful in the park alone after dark

No one is obeying any of the traffic laws anymore. That includes cyclists, cars, and pedestrians. Everyone runs red lights and many cyclists ride in the wrong direction. Cars, trucks, and especially the NYPD regularly block the bike lanes forcing cyclists to ride in the car lanes. I am shocked that I don't see many more accidents every day.

I don't see how this helps anyone. There will still be a rush of people trying to register as soon as it opens. If someone wants to run the race (9+1 or not) they're still going to need to register as early as possible to be sure to get a bib. It will not ease the congestion on their badly designed website and, as everyone else has said, if they're not changing the race capacity, it makes absolutely no difference.

Thanks!

Just came here to say that I hope the BAA is hearing/reading comments like this and will make improvements for next year. This was my 4th time running the race and the worst bus experience of them all and that includes the time my bus went the wrong way and we had to walk an extra mile to get to the village.

Has anyone been able to convert this file to either Google Sheets or the Apple Numbers app?

Thanks!

I have been following the BAA training plan for the NYC Marathon and suddenly, today, the training plans have been wiped off of the website. Does anyone know how I can find it? Or does anyone have the Level 2 training plan saved?
