This is the biggest race I ever ran in. It was very cold out that day in the mid 30's so dress warm. I didn't know this but could wear a old jacket to the starting line and then donate it in a bin. it a cool way to keep warm before the race. I didn't know that and I was frozen it took me a couple of miles into the race to warm up.

Take the subway to the race, It's little to none parking in Manhattan. The course scenery was very nice. A couple of miles in central park to start, then you hit the streets. Running through Time Square was amazing. The crowd was great cheering on all the runners. The finish line was in downtown Manhattan right by the world trade center. I just sign up for this race again. I love it that much.
