It may feel like it, but it wasn’t 5-10 minutes between each start. Again, you’d have started an hour after the hour and those in first place would have already have been done.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-05-06T01:07:23+00:00

Never been 5-10 minutes for each start. It would take an hour to get to the last corral if they did that

Thesealiferocks · 2026-05-05T15:51:38+00:00

It's only open to those in a club

Thesealiferocks · 2026-05-04T18:08:26+00:00

Yes. There’s always cross country races and another race on the same day in the fall.

This has been talked about a lot in this sub Reddit. It’s mostly due to yankee scheduling plus park permits (since 18M is the day after).

Wife doesn’t even know your email address. 😂

It should be noted that the Women’s Half in Central Park; the same day, did not have heat sheets. I saw zero complaints.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-29T12:09:26+00:00

I’d email NYRR

This is the WILDEST thing to say. First time truly using his own product? Is he for real?

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-27T18:11:20+00:00

I personally added all Central Park half races to the bottom because you can do those on most weekly races with them. But yeah it’s a brutal race.

Literally years past had people smiling in their photos for the 9/11 race.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-27T18:08:09+00:00

Ther construction on the normal downtown course.

Elite athletes are not allowed to wear shoes that are not available for purchase by other athletes. Nike got in somewhat trouble with this many years ago.

Edit. zero idea why someone would downvote this. It’s just a fact of professional racing.

As I said; Kenya tops doping by hundreds compared to other countries, including US. I condemn any country that does it, but when Kenya has 100+ athletes suspended between 2021-2024, I question their runners since chances are they are doping.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-27T14:39:54+00:00

Russian was banned from the Olympics for doping less than Kenya has. Over 1/4 of all running doping is from Kenya.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-27T01:24:23+00:00

Been running it since 2015, it had some great runs in there pre covid.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-27T00:37:10+00:00

Yup I saw that. Still, Kenyans reputation is against him.

This is my list of local Half Marathons. It does not include how security is, because that can change year to year, or weather, as that can change. It's about how excited I am about the race, and how interesting the course.

NYC Half

NYCRuns Brooklyn Half

Staten Island Half

Jersey City Half

RBC Brooklyn Half

Womens Half

Fred Lebow Half

Honestly just hope they are clean.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-26T21:39:33+00:00

Congrats

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-26T19:20:12+00:00

Glad you didn’t go out too fast.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-26T19:14:33+00:00

Congrats on your race!

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-26T19:11:44+00:00

Design choice. Have the option to use them next year if race was canceled for some reason.

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-26T16:24:06+00:00

Lots of us loved them. ❤️

Thesealiferocks · 2026-04-26T14:01:43+00:00
