  • Comments: NYRR needs to get the logistics straight for this event. You shouldn't have to pay $15 for a special bus when we live in NYC and have incredible public transportation. Those of us who chose to take the subway paid dearly with an unpleasant start to our race. Don't offer the "free" bus if it's not going to be there and not going to get athletes to the start. And then don't have your volunteers screaming at everyone to hurry up when we were there on time and were only late due to their screw up. Like I said, it was a training run for me so it served it's purpose. But there were a lot of really disappointed people out there, a lot of them doing their first half-mary and not having a good experience. I have been a NYRR member for 9 years and run about 10 of their races a year, most of which are good. But I won't be doing this one again and I wouldn't recommend it to my friends. It's just too much hassle for the experience.
