AMENITIES
Bag Check – If you plan on checking a bag, you must use the single clear bag provided by NYCRUNS. You may not put another full bag/backpack/briefcase inside the clear bag. All items must fit inside the clear bag. NYCRUNS reserves the right to search your bag at any time.
Toilets – Portable restrooms will be available for use throughout the event.
Refreshments – Water and electrolyte fluid will be available on the course. Further hydration, snacks and ICE CREAM will be available to replenish you at the finish line.
SWAG – The giveaway for this race will be a medal and a tech shirt. Shirts may be picked up on race day only. In order to cut down on waste, we try not to overorder and sizes are not guaranteed. If you have your heart set on a size, we recommend picking up your shirt before the race.
Photos – Free finish line photos will be available within a week of the race. You will receive an email from MarathonFoto several days after the race to claim your photos.
BIB DISTRIBUTION
You may pickup your bib in the festival area on race day. NYCRUNS does not host a pre-race bib pickup for this event.
If you register thirty days or more before the event using a domestic address, you can also have your bib mailed to you. This service is free if you are an NYCRUNS Member, and you can become one at checkout. You can also add this service to your registration for $20. Please make sure the shipping address provided at the time of registration will be valid in the month preceding the race.
If you register less than 30 days before race day, or you have an international address, you must pick up your bib on race day no more than an hour before your start time.
If you need to switch distances, please do so on your NYCRUNS dashboard. You may only switch distances if the distance you are looking to switch to is not sold out. You may need to contact customer service or go to the Race Command tent on race day if there is a difference in price.
You also must pick up the appropriate distance bib on race day from the Bib Pick-Up tent if it was not shipped to you. Runners who participate with a bib designated for a different distance (e.g., you run the 5K with a Half Marathon bib or vice versa) will not be scored, eligible for awards or appear in race results.
