Launched in the Spring 2014, Marathons & Half Marathons expects to become the go-to resource for runners looking to go 13.1 & beyond. Our unparalleled race calendar will be backed up by magazine-style reviews curated by our team and submitted by runners like you. We’ll also be actively encouraging race directors to tell us about their races, which we think will be a really neat way to connect runners and race directors.
Marathons & Half Marathons is brought to you by the same team, that created and manages NYCRUNS.COM, the New York City area’s largest and most comprehensive race calendar. Its sister site HVRUNS.COM dedicated to the Hudson Valley running scene, entered the scene more recently.
In addition to working with clients on races to provide timing services and running event management, New York City Runs produces over 50 races of its own each year.
Most importantly, NYCRUNS is made up of runners like you, and we’re creating this site because we need it too! We really hope you like it.
I got talked into doing this race, and while I don't exactly regret doing it, I wouldn't rush back.
Unless you are planning your trip well in advance, you might have trouble finding a hotel close to the start. Fortunately, there are shuttle buses, but that just means you get to the race super early--something I'm not a huge fan of myself. You'll also need to make restaurant reservations well in advance if you plan on dining out the night before the race.
Lots of porta-potties for the tens of thousands of runners though, so no pre-race anxiety there.
Talk about running in a thick, heavy haze. I think we started running in about 95% humidity and the temp hovered around…
