Ooh, I also read in the book that there is a firework display in Central Park on Saturday night at 7.30pm, where the finish line is! Could be fun?

Who knows really what the plan is the night before a marathon ?
From my experience ( having done around 20 ) It's best to enjoy however you want to relax - I know of people who hwve even had a beer/ wine or two the night before and still got a best time - my incentive is a hip flask of ardbeg whisky at the end in my bag !!!! That helped me to my best ever time in London this year ! Cheers !!!!

SLOW RAMBLER
Contro - I agree with you re the beer.... you know that pasta party on the Saturday night in Tavern on the Green? Well........ in 2006..... THERE WAS FREE BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try taking the smile off an Irish woman's face when she stood out in the cold for half an hour with big burly New Yorkers insisting that we all "stay in line" as we froze... then once inside we were given heaps of pasta, bread, fruit, icre cream, water and BEEEEEEEEEEEEER - rather like Homer heading in to Moe's!!! That pasta party was in the entry fee.. the fireworks were good too.. nothing outlandish like Beijing Opening and Closing ceremonies but.. they were good.... (Goes away with green eyed jealous monster syndrome) HAVE A GREAT TIME EVERYBODY, ENJOY IT, PARTY THE 26.2 MILES, it's one I have to do again!!
