This is my first NYCRUNS race, what should I know about Race Day?

Every NYCRUNS event is designed to provide you with a safe, smooth, and memorable race day.

It all starts with your race bib, which for most races you’ll either have mailed to you at home, or you’ll pick it up race morning in the Festival Area, which is the hub of race activity and where you’ll also pick up your participant shirt race morning.

The one exception is for the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon, where you’ll pick up both your bib and participant shirt a few days before the race at the pre-race Expo (unless you select bib and shirt mailing). You can also check a bag at the Expo, to be picked up after the race. For all other races, you can check a bag race morning in the Festival Area.

All NYCRUNS courses are USATF-certified and feature hydration stations, bathrooms, and medical support.

You’ll line up for the race in Start Corrals (and Start Waves for the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon) which we assign using the pace per mile you selected when you set up your NYCRUNS account. You can change your pace at any time in the Profile section of your NYCRUNS Dashboard.

NYCRUNS races feature lots of amenities, from great looking medals to cool race shirts to some tasty post-race eats.

After the race you can check your results and search your personal photo gallery.
