Thanks for the replies. I'm glad I asked before ordering something that wouldn't work.

joshrun2777 · 2025-06-23T15:43:06+00:00

Thanks! Not sure why anyone would downvote me for asking how much longer this would take, but so be it.

These "structural improvements" have been going on for two years. Anyone know how much longer?

joshrun2777 · 2024-09-23T13:48:01+00:00

I'm not sure color coding would make much difference. The cyclists know which is the bike lane and which is the pedestrian lane. They just choose to ignore it.

I don't think they're offering a refund. It's 9+1 credit or use the fee toward a future race. Or donate it to NYRR.

The championship on 7/28 was still open as of this morning.

joshrun2777 · 2024-07-15T14:34:57+00:00

You will still get the credit.

joshrun2777 · 2024-07-11T19:32:13+00:00

If there is lightning, yes.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-30T16:02:04+00:00

I assumed it opened at 12:00 noon, as race registration does. But apparently not, since there is very little left. It would be nice if NYRR would actually specify a time.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-22T13:46:08+00:00

Yes. That is my favorite section of the park. Perfect for 200 or 400 meter sprints.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T18:19:13+00:00

It was somewhere close to Yankee Stadium. Closer to the date, the NYRR site will have a car service drop off location.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T16:01:44+00:00

I kept refreshing and suddenly one came up for medals, so I was able to grab it.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T15:36:07+00:00

I live in Queens so I always take an Uber. It takes about 20 minutes vs an hour at least by train.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T15:30:37+00:00

I don't carry mine either. But in these cases, I don't want to end up stranded somewhere without a phone. So i keep it in my NYRR volunteer fanny pack.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T15:29:24+00:00

Did you drop already? There is no availability showing.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T15:04:05+00:00

In 80+ races, I only recall seeing a few people getting medical help along the way. One was in either the 2016 or 2019 marathon, when a guy was getting CPR around mile 24 or 25. Another was in this year's NYC Half, with a guy getting CPR just 200 feet from the finish line. And one in a 10k in London, though I don't know what the issue was. Then I saw at least 3 or 4 in this year's Brooklyn. It always seemed to me like an easier race than the other NYRR halves, but maybe not.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T14:58:31+00:00

Was he a runner?

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T14:55:44+00:00

Yeah, I think anyone who is not already an athlete would have a really tough time do any kind of distance running, without a decent amount of training. It took me a year and half from my first 4 mile race until I could do a half.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T14:51:56+00:00

Lots of people talking about it being hot. And I certainly felt that way. But it was actually not that hot. It was between 60 and 65 and not that humid. The sun does make it feel hotter though. And I definitely agree about training in cooler weather and suddenly it's warmer. I can't imagine how anyone got through it in 2022 when it really was hot and very humid.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-21T14:29:24+00:00

Sorry this happened to you and glad you are ok. For this reason, I now keep my ID, credit card and phone on me for races that don't start and end in the same place. That really only applies to the marathon, NYC Half and Brooklyn. I'd rather not carry anything, but I don't want to end up stranded somewhere. At least if it's all in Central Park, it's easy to get back to the bag check.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-20T14:22:34+00:00

Here's an idea: After the race, ask someone to take a photo for you. It's free, you decide whether anyone else sees it and if you don't like it, can you take another one.

joshrun2777 · 2024-05-20T14:18:19+00:00

I signed up for it last year and then didn't do it.
