You will need them until the last minute in the corral (I wear one as pants with tape and one as a cape). Find a mylar blanket from your last marathon (and don’t throw away the one you’ll get at the finish here!). Prep some cheap or throwaway clothes to the start. If you need any last minute thing, you can buy most stuff at the expo/bib pickup(don’t forget to bring a printed copy of your reg form – download it from your NYRR profile they will be ready early March, and photo identification) or here is an organized list with all the running stores by area. You can buy gels at the expo if necessary, but get bagels/oatmeal/bananas and whatever you need for race day the day before as there will not be a lot of delis open at 4, 5, or 6 am. Make a marathon list of what you’ll need a week or two before and sort it all by stages, here is a Marathon Packing List to start with. Get everything in the list ready as soon as possible. And in case you want to see photos and read my race reports, go here for all of them, or, here is the 2015 NYC Half report, here is 2014 NYC Half and 2013 NYC Half.
I have done this race 7 times so far -from 2:06 in its first year, 2006, to 1:37 in 2013, and the last two) and I keep running into people who haven’t raced it and have lots of questions (let me know if you have any questions not covered here, post in the comments section below!). You know the “don’t wear anything new on race day” and all the basics… now, let’s do the United NYC Half Marathon as well as we can.
