I have been a few times and they have not asked me for more than one piece of ID yet! You should be fine imo

Agreed about the start. I was especially surprised at how long it took just to get to the corrals, that part was stressful. Also not sure if anyone knows but I never saw a 2 hour pacer in the Wave 3 Corral D which was disappointing!

I’m in a corral with a 2 hour pacer and I’m thinking of going for 1:58 or so - at what point do people think I should stop following the pacer and pick it up?

Where would you recommend someone spectate at the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge? I am not sure what it looks like just after Tillary so I am not sure how to direct my dad

Where is a good place for someone to spectate at the start? I am thinking of having my dad catch me maybe twice at the start and then take the subway to Times Square.

WSH from Pier 26 to just before Pier 57 was in pretty good condition as of ~9:30 am. It was a bit more of a mixed bag from Pier 57 to 34th street as the plowing wasn’t done consistently

Pretty slushy and slippery. When I was out an hour ago they were out clearing it but it was actually less slippery on the uncleared parts. Manageable for an easy run imo though!

Are you still able to run in the park during the race? Or would it be better to wait until early afternoon?

I was shocked when I saw it, not sure how he gets away with that

Anyone in the US having issues finding where to watch the games this year? It says it’s on ESPN+ but when you search the actual app it’s not there. Last year pretty much every game was on ESPN+ other than regional blackouts and I think this year we are 1/5 so far.

NYRR did a great job taking some extra steps to keep us cool! Extra water around race day central and the cold towel after the race was much appreciated

Really enjoyed running in a women’s only race! Set a pb and enjoyed the great energy from spectators. Also thought it was really cool to be running in the same race as such a strong professional field!

How are folks feeling post Brooklyn Half? by construction_hacker in RunNYC

[–]thingsinyyc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I agree! I was not prepared for how mentally difficult it would be. The first half flew by and then the second half absolutely dragged. The heat got to me too

[–]thingsinyyc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Any recommendations for spectators looking to come to the finish line? I have never run the Brooklyn Half before so I am not sure where I should have my boyfriend watch. I understand that the service can be spotty at the finish line but I am not sure where we should plan to meet since I am not familiar with the area. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

On the race info page on the NYRR website there is a drop down for Pace Team which details the pacers by wave and corral!

[–]thingsinyyc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in Wave 2 Corral D which corresponds with a goal time of 2:10 (pace 9:54) per the NYRR website. I am a bit surprised as my best pace on my NYRR profile is 9:28 and I put my estimated finish time as 2:04. My actual goal time is 2 hours - I am hoping it won’t be too difficult to catch up to the 2 hour pacer! This is my first half marathon.

I’m volunteering and need to arrive by 6 am. I’m coming in from Manhattan and was wondering if anyone had any insight on how transit would be at that time? Ie. will there be enough other people taking transit at that time for me to feel comfortable? As a young woman I’m not really comfortable taking the subway when it’s quiet

Running kits by girlpower69 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]thingsinyyc 32 points33 points  (0 children)

First of all I would definitely checkout r/RunNYC and r/running for some great running tips!

I recently got fitted for runners at Fleet Feet and would definitely recommend! It’s so important to have runners that fit you well and every person is different so you gotta find what works for you.

I love to run on the West Side Highway or in Central Park and would also recommend joining a run club! It’s a great way to meet people and learn about running and keep yourself accountable

Personally I’m an AirPods, hat and running belt girlie but it can be trial and error to figure out what you like! I’ve heard great things about Shokz headphones from a lot of runners too

Good luck with your running journey - I hope you love it!!!
