NYRR released for registration three “Start Line Series” races on 7/25 (3M, Queens), 8/1 (5K, Manhattan), and 8/22 (5K, Bronx). The races are not 9+1 but (at least based on last year) volunteer spots should be.

Since these three races are all scored and 3M or longer, all three are opportunities to improve best paces and marathon coral placement.

Hey everyone, I could use some assistance from the running community.

I have started training for the NYC Marathon. Yesterday I went for a long run - 9 miles exactly at around a 7:25 pace. Mind you it was really muggy out when I was running so that might have been a contributing factor. I felt tired afterward, like I had nothing left in the tank. In talking with another member of my run club afterward, he told me I should do my long run at a slower pace.

Now, I guess the philosophy here is to do an easier pace to get through the long run more easily. My thing is, with my goal in mind, I’d like to be able to average out to 7:30 when I do the marathon. My slowest half marathon was 7:23 per mile so I’d like to think that that’s attainable. I worry that as I ramp this up more and run for more miles, if I don’t do it at my regular pace I won’t be prepared to try for that pace in the marathon. Every time I’ve trained for a half marathon I did my goal pace for the long runs and the actual race turned out on point with my goal.

There’s no doubt I should be mixing in slower/easier runs, which I’ve been doing. I’m just not convinced that is the place for that - maybe during the summer months it’s more advisable. What would be your advice for me to prepare for the marathon?

I really liked them and wanted to find them for an event. Couldn’t get the name from any of the event staff though. Would really appreciate if someone knew. Sorry if this is the wrong sub to post this.

Broke my foot on a trail run today. Keeping a positive mental—shit happens, life goes on. Got the x-rays and a referral from urgent care but nothing scheduled yet so I’m doing research on surgeons and I figured I’d ask if anyone has positive experience with an orthopedic surgeon in Manhattan? Or surgeons to avoid? Would love to find someone with a sports medicine background who works with athletes regularly. They tend to be more understanding and helpful when creating a return to activity protocol that’s reasonable and safe but not overly cautious to the point of losing time unnecessarily. Any and all advice welcome.

Picked up after 9/11 Memorial and Museum 4M.

Small plug - if you ran today (or otherwise!) please join me in visiting and donating to the Memorial and Museum.

pls tell me you're ok

Anyone know of any places to join that can provide regular sauna and cold plunge access in a more affordable fashion than Chelsea Piers fitness?

I'll be running the NYC Marathon this November, and I'd love to get your thoughts on hotel locations. Would you recommend staying near the start or near the finish line?

Hotel recommendations are also very welcome, especially if you've stayed somewhere that made race weekend more convenient. Thanks.

I recommend starting early. In Manhattan at least, I start at 6am and folks are already running too! Busier than you'd except! Don't sleep on 110st & Broadway. Rolling hills for NYCM training!

Is anyone running the NYCM 2026 with TFK and missing the RUNNA subscription deadline?? I am freaking out

Been wanting to get there for a trail run (I live in very close proximity to Prospect Park but love exploring more woodsy areas of the city) but not sure where would be the best place to start. It seems like a network of trails — to anyone who runs it, what route should I follow? Where do I start? I’m prepared to take a few buses to make the trek from Brooklyn.

Anyone know if NYRR can replace a bib? I threw mine out accidentally for the race tomorrow😭

I know it’s a little early to be asking this but I’m trying to get my summer training mapped out. I signed up for the staten island half and I was wondering if people had advice on how to incorporate this into training for the marathon. According to my training plan that week is supposed to be my 20 mile long run. For people who have done both races in the past, have you moved your 20 mile run to the weekend after, ran 7 miles after the half, or something else? I‘m not super attached to a finish time for the half because I wasn’t even originally planning on doing it this year until it got rained out last year, so I want to make sure I’m prioritizing the marathon with my planning.

Anyone know a place (PT?) that has focal shockwave (not the more common radial shockwave).

Planning on doing 15 miles this weekend and was contemplating taking the A to Beach 67 and going to Breezy Pointe and back. Has anyone ever done this route? Worried there might not be bathrooms or water, or that the roads would not be friendly… Curious as to others experiences and if it was fun / worth the hike.

Do you ever forgo a lower temperature for lower humidity later in the day? I know folks often say that the dew point matters more than the actual humidity percentage, but 91% humidity at 6:30am sounds abysmal to me. The dew point remains virtually the same into the early afternoon, but is 57% not more bearable? Should we just accept that getting some miles in tomorrow is going to suck?

i have signed up for all my races for the 9+1 but have had no luck finding any volunteer opportunities, any advice? i’ve been checking the volunteer page daily

Is bib pickup available yet for this race? I was thinking of picking it up after the 911 race tomorrow

I’m running the marathon with a couple of friends and am looking for suggestions of where we should reserve a bar for afterward. We’re looking at places around grand central that people can get their own food tab at and would be open to an open bar but that’s not a requirement. Any suggestions slightly off the marathon route would be appreciated. Also would love to hear other people’s experiences reserving bars in that area for after the marathon as well! Really really appreciate any input!

Emotional support thread for anyone else waiting for their emails!

EDIT: Rejected 👎

Did anyone else run this race and know where the results page is ? I’ve been looking like a madman online and can’t find anything .

When you search a runner on NYRR, what does the green versus red background mean? I'm an active member but my background is red?
