Special Race Day Episode: Tips & Tricks for running the NYRR United Half Marathon in NYC

I'm joined this week by special guest Indy, a long-time marathoner and NYC runner, as we break down the upcoming 2025 United Half Marathon in New York City! We both ran the race last year, and will be running it this year, so we wanted to review our memories of each parts of the race, and offer up any tips/tricks/guidance if you're a first time runner there (or if it's been a while).

We break the race down into:

1. Expo / Bib-pickup
2. Getting to the start
3. Miles 1-3 in the park
4. Miles 4-6 along Flatbush avenue and into Manhattan
5. Miles 7-10 along the FDR
6. Miles 10-12 through 42nd street and Times Square
7. Miles 12-13.1 through Central Park to finish!
