I’m new to the area, and a relatively young woman. Is it safe for me to run in prospect park at around 6-7AM on weekdays? Are there other runners/bikers at that time? I plan to stay on the main loop.

Check your inbox! I just received an email from NYRR saying that I got off their Members-only standby list for the 5th Ave mile. Sharing because I’ve seen people ask when they could expect notifications about the list for previous races.

Best of luck to my fellow 9+1 warriors who are still waiting for this email!

Possibly dumb question, but how do the heats work for 5th Avenue mile? I see both age groups and bib letters on the chart on the website, and age groups are further divided into A and B? Feeling confused and also like a dunce for being confused!

Randomly stumbled across these. Looks like one “normal” colorway and one “unique”, similar to the London jackets this year.

I’m a 29-year-old guy who works from home and lives in Midtown Manhattan near East 49th Street. I’m 5'10" and currently around 340 lbs, with a goal of getting down to 200 lbs.

I’m looking for someone nearby east 49 street in Midtown Manhattan and work out with him at his place.

Or just to walk with.

Details: 29 years old, in (Turtle bay)

I want to run up the east side from Brooklyn bridge up to and across the queensboro bridge, but I remember when I tried a year ago a decent chunk of it had to detour onto the streets. Anyone know which parts are inaccessible due to construction/ have to run on the streets? Thank you!

A mix between Van Gogh’s barges and Hopper’s terraces - that’s my favorite pier ❤️

Thankful to live here and to see such beauty every day - no better place to run on earth!

I’m training for the NYC marathon and these high humidity days are killing me…I have to slow down so much. I change my schedule to run when it’s not at it’s worse but it’s ruff.

Will running slower due to the humidity negatively impact my marathon day performance / pace?

Sup everyone! I wanted to run the NYC or Boston marathon but registration is impossible, so I’m planning on running the March 7 Los Angeles marathon since I have a way in. My friends aren’t too into running like I am and they definitely won’t fly to LA for a marathon. If anyone is down to train with me here and sign up for the marathon together hmu, maybe we could make a group chat out of it

Hi friends! I’ve made it one of my goals to run all the bridges in and around NYC (that allow for pedestrians) and the cuomo bridge I think is my next hit. I’ve got 18 miles on deck this weekend. Any tips on a route to make this a success?

Generally for runs like this I’ll take a train somewhere (was thinking njt to nanuet station) run to the bridge, cross it, and try to get as close to my apt as possible (coming from the UES), then subways home. Has anyone done this route before? Open to all suggestions!! Thanks!

(Also pls share any other interesting runs from nyc I love to treat a long run like an adventure!!)

Edit: I’m cracking up sry guys for my ~tappan zeeeeee bridge~ run thx for the tips!!!!

Any ideas or know anyone selling ?

My husband is running in the NYC marathon, I’m the least creative person. What are some good signs you’ve seen?

Hi! I’ll be visiting NYC in September and I’m looking to do an 10mile long run while I’m there. I’ll be staying near motto by Hilton and was thinking about running along the Hudson River.
What routes would you recommend for a long run? I’d love something scenic, relatively flat, and safe for running. 😊
Any tips or favorite routes would be greatly appreciated!

It’s 80 degrees at 65% humidity which doesn’t seem out of the ordinary for summer runs yet the whole time it felt like 95%. Is the weather app just off or is there something else in the air?

Hey everyone! I have like 5 womens shorts/tights from wolaco that im looking to sell - theyre in great condition lve just lost some weight and cant fit into them

Anyone know of anywhere that purchases lightly used activewear?

I tried crossroads and buffalo exchange but they’re not familiar with the brand. Ive tried posted on r/therunningrack but its people predominantly looking for mens running gear.

TIA

Hi- does anyone have suggestions of where I can find a used garmin 265s? I'm training for the NYC marathon and my Apple Watch battery is shot. I could pay $100 for a new battery but I'd like to upgrade to the garmin as I've heard good things in my research. However, between new sneakers and all of the other expenses I'm just not looking to spend $350 on a new watch. If anyone has one they're looking to get rid of, message me! Thanks

The post I've dreaded writing ever since locations started closing. Is their location in Nomad finally closed? The other day I was trying to book for next week and it showed spots available and then a couple hours later they were gone. Also from their website. A few days later their page is fully gone on Classpass. I google'd and it now says permanently closed. No announcement on their IG... anyone been recently or have the scoop? Been going since 2021 and there's nowhere else like them so so sad if this is true

Did anyone got a spot in the NYC marathon this way? (link below)

how was your experience? would you recommend?

Hi, I'm running New York for the first time this year. My understanding is that the blue and orange waves basically come straight off the upper deck of the Verrazano Bridge, and onto 4th Avenue, with orange on the left, and blue on the right. Then, pink stays separate for a bit longer, before merging onto 4th Avenue, also on the right side with the blue runners. I'm honestly confused how this works. If all of the waves are equal sizes, then the right side of the road would be twice as dense as the left. Wouldn't that mean that the pink wave runners get kind of squeezed out when trying to merge onto 4th Avenue, because they're essentially running into a massive wall of blue runners? Would it just be better/easier to try to run with orange to have more space?

Hello. Sorry if this may have been asked before but are there any groups/ clubs doing weekend long runs for the Chicago marathon? I would love to join and share the experience of this training block with you guys. I usually do my long runs between 9:30-10:15 pace.

Be honest NYers training for the marathon… are you going out out after your long run?

Crushed my morning long run (15mi) It’s such a beautiful Saturday summer night and I’m feeling guilty “wasting” it. I’m not completely exhausted little sore so I could go out but is that normal or are people carbs and couch all day?

Edit: I mean out out guys hah. I went for a stroll and a liberty game but after that felt like I needed to be off my feet

Running the bridge this morning when a man on a scooter slapped my ass. Be aware especially how secluded the sunnyside entrance is

Marathon 2026, really excited!
