A note for race day

Find me on marathon day.

Here’s where I’ll look for you. Please get there a little early, stand on the specified sidewalk, and stay until I run by.

Bib 7636Orange wave 1 · Corral C9:10 AM start

I have a few possible finish times

The times below may shift due to start line shenanigans, tummy troubles, and my vibes. The NYRR app is the best way to follow me live.

Before I get there

  • Use the NYRR tracking app and look up bib 7636.
  • Aim for the “Be there by” time at your corner, then stay on the specified sidewalk.
  • I’ll send a photo of my outfit beforehand. A big sign with my name would make you easier to spot.
  • If I’m behind pace, please hang on until you see me pass.
  • You’re welcome to wear your gifted visors and socks, but absolutely no pressure.
