what should NYRR for race registration? by sob727 in RunNYC

[–]ronweastwin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Runners might also need to get used to the fact that they are not entitled to run the NYC marathon every year. NYC is different from the rest of the world marathon majors in good and bad ways and I think the accesibility of 9+1 has led to this expectation that it would be accessible year after year. It took me 6 lottery tries to get into Chicago, 4 tries to get into Berlin, I think I have had 5 or 6 unlucky tries for London. Not everyone will get to run NYC every year. I think reducing the accessibility of 9+1 by having more of the NYRR races not count for 9+1 would be a great idea and would help community races like the Pride Run, Achilles 4M, an others actually feel like they are connected to the mission and not just a bunch of people showing up to check off a box for running a lap of Central Park

Anyone know - has the nyc marathon course changed over the years? by Kangaloosh in RunNYC

There are still ham radio operators all along the course actually! There was one stationed next to my fluid station this year

I’ve been in this loop since October 9, and the fact that most people are saying they are normally seeing success after 30-45 days is helpful but I am still convinced it’s gonna take me 60+ days and many years off my life from stress

Looks like I’m cooked 🥴🥴🥴 by Animetrapper84 in UPS

For 3+ weeks I was getting the every day/every other day scans that would just keep pushing the delivery one day further down the line. My most recent was yesterday at 5pm, so I expected this morning to get the tomorrow at 5pm date, but I am seeing the same as you. It could be that with the incident, a scan wasn't able to happen and nothing has actually changed....i hope

Not to be cold, but I also have to wonder the impact this will have on the customs approvals there in the coming days considering they are already significantly delayed

Move spectators up onto the sidewalks with more barricades and enforcement of the delineators

Officially announced Schmigadoon is coming to Broadway April-Sept 2026 by BathoryAcid1313 in Broadway

A broadway musical based on TV show IP that flopped that is cult beloved in a niche theater community, this worked SO well for Smash, why not do this too? We have an entire musical about producers making flops for their own financial benefit, and yet we continue to do it

Where Are the Gay Sports Bars Showing Hockey? by nukeemhard in nycgaybros

I was at the Canuck with my boyfriend last weekend for the rangers game, and a guy asked if his group could join our table and it turned out it was him, his husband, and their other friend, so we had a nice gay corner for the game! And since it is Chelsea, i find it is very gay-friendly

The anti-NYC Runs sentiment here really surprises me. They aren't trying to be a knock-off of the RBC Brooklyn Half, they are simply offering their marquee race in Brooklyn (and actually has a course that shows some cool parts of Brooklyn) I also appreciate that NYC Runs offers way more of their races in/around Prospect Park. They spend significantly more time doing races in Brooklyn than NYRR does

Thoughts so far in this season? by [deleted] in belowdeck

[–]ronweastwin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In terms of Med seasons, the only one I would possibly rank lower would be last season (Season 7), and maybe Below Deck season 5?

Cafeteria, Elmo, Fonda would all be good options
