When: Sunday October 20, 2024. 8:00 AM Start. Check-in begins at 7:15 AM. Please arrive no later than 7:35 a.m. so we can start the run promptly at 8:00 AM. We will start with the fastest group first — the 8:00 MM group will take off at 8:00AM and groups will leave every few minutes through 13 MM/Run-walk group.
Where: We will meet at the at the northeast corner of 59th and 1st, just SOUTH of the Queensboro Bridge underpass. The meeting place will be the small plaza in front of the TJ Maxx and Trader Joe’s. Look for the runners decked out in NY Flyer Gear!
Aid Stations: Water, Gatorade, and gels at around Mile 6.5 at 110th Street & Fifth Avenue in front of the Duke Ellington Statue. At the FINISH we will have coffee, water, Gatorade and bagels.
Baggage: Drop-off at start location (59th and 1st Avenue); Pick-up at finish (turnaround circle in front of Tavern on the Green in Central Park at West 67th Street). BAGGAGE CHECK IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS OFFERED AS A CONVENIENCE TO RUNNERS. Baggage pick-up will close at 10:45 AM, which gives you plenty of time to finish the run.
Toilets: There are no toilets at the start. Along the route, there are toilets in Marcus Garvey Park as well as in Central Park, but pacers will not make stops at these toilets given the relatively short length of the run.
Pace Groups We will send out groups by pace beginning with the 8:00 MM group. Groups will leave in 2 minute intervals through 13 MM/Run/Walk. Each group will have at least one designated pacer.
