Al Goldstein will be there - I think he's in his 90's now. Till 120 years.
How about electronic chip timing? Even those awful D-tags are better than hand scoring (ugh, so 1970s), especially in August when days are shorter and Al Goldstein &Co. have trouble seeing.
Sorry Zev but no way.
This race is so '70s and staying that way.
This will be my first series. I'm very excited to give it a go!
Registration starts at 630 but when does the actual race start?
Bo, the race will start about 7:15. Prospect Park closed to cars at 7:00 but we want to make sure the road is clear.
what if you're coming straight from work? is there a place to stash your bag?
Yes, we even have people to watch you stashed bag.
Dogs allowed?
Sorry, dogs and leashes would be dangerous.
What is the closest train line to the start of the race?
The B/Q Train is really close. Get off at Prospect Park and walk into the Park at Lincoln Rd.
will it happen rain or shine?
rain or shine yes,
Lightening and thunder not so much
Looks like we'll have rain and possibly a t-storm.
When will you post whether tonight's race is happening or if it's canceled?
Thanks!
Is the race happening tonight?
James, Show up and find out.
I'll be finishing up a rigorous couch-to-5k training program the week on July 6. So I'm not very speedy, in other words. Is this the run for me?
Kristin, It will be perfect for you. Say Hi when you sign up and I will make sure you have extra fun!
This will be a first to me. Time to test the endurance and have fun!
I hope I dont have to be a member, but just bring 5 bucks.
I ran one of the races a few years ago and loved it. Just loved the simple, small, friendly, non NYRR vibe to it. Thanks for putting on such a great series.
