Here’s the least you need to know for this Saturday’s NYCRUNS Go Nuts For Donuts 10K on Governors Island.
Your Personal QR Code
Located in the Upcoming Races section of your NYCRUNS Dashboard, your personal QR code is what you’ll use on race day to pick up your bib and participant shirt. Add it to your Apple Wallet or take a screenshot so it’s easily accessible on race morning.
Getting to the Race
Take the Governors Island Ferry located at the Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street in Manhattan. Please be on the 7:30 AM or 8:00 AM ferry. It’s best to arrive 15 minutes early to get on line. There’s no charge for you, your family, or friends. The subway is your best option to get to the ferry. Use MTA Trip Planner for details. Parking is limited in the area.
The Festival Area is Centrally Located
When you arrive on the island, follow the signs and event staff directions to the Festival Area, which is the hub of race activity. This is where you’ll pick up your bib and participant shirt, check a bag, use the bathrooms, and get any questions answered.
First Things First, Get Your Bib
If you haven’t received your bib in the mail, you’ll pick it up at the Bib Pick-Up Tent in the Festival Area using your QR code. For safety and security reasons and per NYCRUNS policy, only you can run with the bib that’s assigned to you.
Get Your Shirt
Pick up your official participant shirt before or after the race in the Festival Area. Just show your personal QR code.
Be in Your Start Corral by 9:15 AM
The Start Corrals are a short walk from the Festival Area and will be lined up by letter (AA – F). Look for the lettered tower that coincides with the letter on your bib and enter your corral there. If you’re not sure where to enter, just ask a nearby event staff member where to go. Your corral assignment was determined by the pace you selected in the Profile section of your NYCRUNS Dashboard.
The Course
Check out the 10K course which makes two loops of the island. Multiple fluid stations will be available with cups of water and Gatorade. Bathrooms will be located just beyond the Fluid Stations. If needed, medical assistance will be available on the course and at the Finish. All NYCRUNS courses are USATF-certified.
Don’t Get Trashed
Please help keep Governors Island clean and sustainable. NYCRUNS partners with the island’s composter Earth Matter NY to turn all cups and food from the race into compost. So, toss your trash, recycle your bottles, and place all race cups and food into the compost bins.
Post Race Refueling (aka, DONUTS!)
We’ll be there after you finish with water, Gatorade, an apple, and of course, a very well-earned and deliciously decadent donut.
Photos
Following the race, you’ll receive an email with a link to your race photo gallery. If you did not pre-purchase a discounted photo package at checkout, you can still do so up to the day before the race by going to the Upcoming Races section of your NYCRUNS Dashboard and modifying your registration. For those who do not purchase a photo package, every NYCRUNS event includes a free photo which you can download after the race.
Track Your Run & Check Your Results
Real-time runner tracking and an interactive course map is available with the NYCRUNS Events App. Download the app now at the Apple App Store and Google Play. You’ll receive an email after the race once the preliminary results are posted on NYCRUNS.com.
