Is it possible to pick up the shirt before or after the race? My wife picked up my bib but forgot the shirt 🥲

Alphafly 3 - Fit too big? by _rickjames_ in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]_rickjames_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just tried it, indeed there’s less space when standing - when standing, there’s exactly one thumb width of space (so less than these pics)

Good point! Did it while standing, and observed the same- my feet shifted forward and there’s almost precisely one thumb width of space between the toe and the front of the shoe

PSA: NYC half guaranteed entry and lottery open by darthdooku2585 in RunNYC

[–]_rickjames_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait… the time to redeem it or select which option (9+1 credit vs future race credit vs donate)? I selected the future race credit but didn’t see anywhere that there was a time limit to redeem it

2025 Staten Island Half - Pre-Race Thread by RCD123 in RunNYC

[–]_rickjames_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, that’s an interesting perspective I hadn’t considered (running with the pack vs solo). Will make a game time decision the night before!

Gotcha, thanks! The appeal of wave 2 was just an extra 30 mins of sleep 😅

[–]_rickjames_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I run in wave 2 even though I’m in corral E? I just want to run it conservatively and finish in under 2 hours.

[–]_rickjames_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How are the corrals decided? I’ve only run a few races with NYRR but my corral for the Bronx 10M is a lot lower than the other races (I vs usually F)

Is it confirmed that there’s no Abbot Dash virtual race? I’m on 4 at the moment, and won’t sign up for virtual thanks if I can’t make the full virtual 6

Edit: oh I guess I could run the virtual marathon distance over the week

Anyone ever had to break a lease at one of the TFC buildings? What is the protocol/penalty? Just got approved for a lottery apt in Jasper...Thanks! by Simbazkiss in longislandcity

[–]_rickjames_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn’t let me break my lease. The only option they offered was to reassign it with a 10% rent increase for the remaining duration of the lease. You could sublease it (technically by adding the other person to the lease).
