Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Just in case anyone hasn't seen it - here's the elevation chart ingnycmarathon.org

I have done the course (once) and it was a total disaster. (I had food poisoning. Very slow progress. Salt sachets in the first aid tent. Tears at mile 16...Not pretty). So, I do remember it as a tough course but I was an ill girl. What sticks in my head is that I seemed to be running downhill a lot and the front of my legs & knees got sore and wobbly.

Even through all that though there was *the* most awesome atmosphere :-)

No idea on the total ascent, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than little old me will be by soon :-)

Log in to the entrant log in and there is a registration form button under your entry number. It's all in there.

Apparently we need to print this and take it with us!

2256 9:40.... with a 6am manhattan bus to the start....may have to cut back on the pre-race cocktails. How's everybody else getting to the start, race buses?

Had a nozy round the routes found - has a fetch hill rating of 486, ascent 249m, descent 262m http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-109765

In context Nottingham has 483, ascent 247m, descent 253m. Though the numbers on my garmin clock bigger than this public route and I think the 1st half of notts is pretty evil if you’re having a crack at a time
http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-302908

Edinburgh downhill and speedy apart from the hail and arctic wind = 327, ascent 167m descent 216m.

in summary..hell we wont even notice, there's a 140 bands on route and cheerleaders!!
