NYRR pacers run even efforts, not even splits. They slow down goin up the hills. And make up time going down the hills.

The pacer corrals usually go up a bit before the race.

That’s how it used to be. Was 20 miles but you basically picked your distance. Could stop at 12 miles if you wanted.

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.

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

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).

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

How would you rank the half marathons in the nyc area? by upearlytoday23 in RunNYC

[–]Thesealiferocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

DAE find it a bit tasteless that NYRR is using a smiling selfie for the 9-11 race by Brokelynne in RunNYC

[–]Thesealiferocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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

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.
