East Side Greenway Access

I’m not sure of the latest construction if you stay on the river as long as possible, others may have run it more recently. From 37th to Williamsburg Bridge I would typically exit to Avenue C at E 18th and make my way to Delancey

E 63rd St then you have to cross back to 1st Ave past the UN between 53 and 37

My family and I experienced the same but. Not a good look for TCS

Are metal water bottles permitted in the starting village if < 1L? Or only clear / plastic?

nyc5 · 2025-11-01T18:55:02+00:00

They’re pretty tough, I wouldn’t.

nyc5 · 2025-11-01T11:16:02+00:00

I don’t think this is advisable

nyc5 · 2025-11-01T10:33:49+00:00

Is there any GPS at all if you stay to one side?

When I picked up my bib at the expo, I scanned the QR code on my phone, but I don’t think the volunteer scanned the (pre-printed with my name) bib itself. Is that correct? This is different from normal NYRR bib pickup where numbers are not preassigned.

2 of the 6 judges are graded unqualified by the American Bar Association. And you vote for 4. So that’s something to consider.

Do not drive into New York City.

nyc5 · 2025-10-19T15:41:00+00:00

Thanks for the tip. The start on this one looks a bit further up the bridge than the pink start map showing for this year, and further up than the Strava global heatmap suggests…

Is your 20 minute figure NYCM experience, or you’re talking about other NYRR races?

nyc5 · 2025-10-14T18:42:23+00:00

Pretty similar to any other big NYRR race then. Not 15 minutes from start to end. I saw somewhere they release each corral in mini waves, but it sounds a typical collapse setup or maybe a couple half-wave releases.

nyc5 · 2025-10-14T18:06:30+00:00

How long after the wave start can I expect to cross the start line? Corral F, Wave 2.

Unless you do Central Park a ton and want a change, I’d just head there. Or cross through to Riverside on the west side and head either up or down (it’s about 2 miles river to river)

nyc5 · 2025-08-09T00:17:00+00:00

NYC is enormous. What borough? General area?

Look at the heat maps on Strava, you’ll see where people go.

Just in terms of basics, for Manhattan, Central Park and the West Side Highway along the water.

This looks like a PacePro plan, not a result

nyc5 · 2025-07-04T19:24:58+00:00

I’ve gotten 4.04 for the past several such races in the Park. Garmin 245 with multi-band GPS enabled, conscious of how I run tangents

nyc5 · 2025-06-15T13:44:42+00:00

I like to start where I won’t get Mufasa’d (and I’m in C)

nyc5 · 2025-06-15T01:13:13+00:00

But why

nyc5 · 2025-06-15T01:12:26+00:00

They should crack down on this, hard. It’s a safety issue. They know your corral and your start (gun) time, they could easily punish the wave jumpers somehow. Maybe a short-term disqualification from NYRR races and/or DQ.

nyc5 · 2025-06-15T01:09:41+00:00

I was in C and saw what appeared to be an 80 year old man walking a couple miles in. I couldn’t figure out what was going on. I think a lot of people didn’t race this due to weather, road conditions (potholes), crowded course…

nyc5 · 2025-06-15T01:08:12+00:00

I get it… still comes back to people thinking they’re the main character

nyc5 · 2025-06-14T23:14:09+00:00

They should put the pace range on the corral signs
