Event details and schedule
COURSE
We have an exciting new course planned that improves on the one we used last year (below). The new course has less turns and a discrete start and finish, but we can't map it properly until the Spring.
SPECTATORS
Want to have someone cheer you on at the finish? Up to 4 people can join you but they will need to register as spectators at $20 per person and accompany you to the ferry. Spectators receive a bib which they must wear to board the ferry and to partake of post-race food and drink. Spectator bibs can only be picked up at packet pickup or mailed. Children three and under do not require a bib and strollers are allowed on the ferry, but not in the race.
(This charge is necessary as there are limited spots on the pre-race ferries)
AMENITIES
Bag check and toilets will be provided. Water and Gatorade will be available on the course, and bagels, spreads, fresh fruit and more will make up the usual great NYCRUNS post race spread to greet you at the finish line. Free finish line photos and video will be available on the results page. The giveaway for this race will be a great tech t-shirt*.
*Sizes are guaranteed – if we don’t have your size at the race, email theteam@nycruns.com within two days of the race and we’ll ship your shirt to you a few weeks later. Make sure to include the race name, your name, size and shipping address in the body of the email. Shipping to domestic US addresses only.
