Bag Check – Runners can check their gear at all NYCRUNS races. Bag check is located at the Festival Area. If you plan on checking your gear, you must use one single clear bag. If your bag isn’t clear, NYCRUNS will provide you with a clear bag (18″ x 24″) when you check your gear. You may not put another full bag/backpack/briefcase filled with gear inside the clear bag that NYCRUNS provides. All items must fit inside one clear bag. NYCRUNS reserves the right to search the contents in your bag at any time. NYCRUNS is not responsible for unclaimed bags, though they may end up back in our warehouse after the race. You can fill out our contact form to inquire about any lost items.
Hydration – Water and electrolyte fluids will be available on the course and at the Finish. The number and location of hydration stations will vary depending on the course and distance. Check the course map for each race’s specific set up.
Post Race Refreshments – Everyone gets a refueling upon finishing a NYCRUNS race. Our usual spread consists of Brooklyn’s best bagel (with a schmear, of course) in most cases, or pretzels, along with a fresh fruit item (usually an apple). During the summer months, we’ve got ice cream and ice pops to help cool things off a bit. We also sprinkle in donuts and sweeten the pot with hot chocolate at other races. Bottom line, you eat well after you WIN YOUR RACE!
Bathrooms – Portable bathrooms are available at various locations throughout our events.
Swag – Every runner at a NYCRUNS race receives an official race shirt. Check the individual race pages for more details.
Photos – Runners will receive one complimentary photo and the option to purchase additional photos. MarathonFoto will send you an email after the race with all the details. You can also sign up for a photo package at checkout.
