Â
PARTNERS, FAMILY & FRIENDS
If you are travelling with non-runners you need not worry about them on race day. They are invited to join us at our spectator spot on First Avenue between the 16 and 17 mile points. We walk as a group from our hotels. From First Avenue it's a short walk up to Central Park where your supporters can see you come through at 25 miles near Central Park Zoo before you head to the re-union area on Central Park West.
Supporters can also buy a ticket for the Dash to the Finish Run (online at www.TCSNYCMarathon.org), which is a fun run from the United Nations building to Central Park on the Saturday. Partner tickets are also available for the Barilla Marathon Eve Dinner at the Tavern on the Green for the traditional carbo-loading per-marathon meal.
SINGLE TRAVELLERS
To keep your costs down we can twin sole travellers with another person of the same sex on the 2:09 Events tour staying in the room for the same duration. Twin to share runners are single runners who pay the Twin Room price instead of the Single Room price, which is a considerable saving on New York hotel room costs. This option is subject to availability and will likely be unavailable as the race approaches.
