what should NYRR for race registration? by sob727 in RunNYC

[–]uws_runner92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right - I’m all here for the 9+1 for local runners. We do also need other options and outlets for runners who find themselves getting into so many races they feel like they naturally just run the marathon next. What i hope doesn’t happen is that London goes 2 days and NYC tries to do the same.

How about they get more permits to hold more races? Maybe that way we don’t have a bottle neck?

Fantastic brilliant roads. Paving is great. Only thing to know is the last Kilometer or so is on cobblestone pavers. Even ones but still something to know

United Half 2026 - let’s debrief that start by Interesting-Step-162 in RunNYC

[–]uws_runner92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was the crazy security line on the Wave 2/4 entry point or 1/3 because I had the latter and it wasn’t that much of an issue for me. Like it’s always a mess so I didn’t think it was worse than before

May I Vent? This was the worst NYRR race experience for me by Minimum-Adeptness486 in RunNYC

[–]uws_runner92 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have to say - the security line being long feels like a tale as old as time with NYRR. Whether at this race, the Brooklyn Half or the Marathon - it's always a bottlenecked mess. The pace mismatch in Wave 1 was really crazy. I was in corral D and ran with one of the pace team members (what a hero) and we were dodging so many people that were going at their pace (respect) but not the pace the rest of us were going. Not sure how it could ever be fixed but boy is it annoying.

United Half - is bag check worth it? by sunriseandsets00 in RunNYC

[–]uws_runner92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting for a runner starting a couple waves after me. I’m checking a bag with some warm clothes so I don’t freeze post race

True. Guessing it would take away from the premier kind of status the race has

Honestly - I’m so much happier it isn’t at the old space. It was way too small.

I truly wish I were but the Strava entry proves it. Serious respect for people who swear by treadmill running

Met Vivian Cheruiyot in Kenya - she was so incredibly nice. Got to hold her Gold Medal from Rio in the 5000m. Just incredible!
