This race is as incredible an experience as you might imagine. The team of staff and volunteers make sure all of your questions are answered. Transportation to the start line waiting area was seamless, even with tens of thousands of runners and walkers. The water stations and others such as the cold sponge and banana stations were so appreciated in the final half of the 26.2. One of the best parts of this race is the crowd and entertainment along the route. They keep you going and help keep your mind off how tired you feel in the final stretch of the race (or when you realize you are still in Brooklyn and need to make it through two more boroughs). Everything about this race was world-class.
