🏃‍♂️🎉 Race Day Joy: 2024 United Airlines NYC Half-Marathon Full Course! 🌆🍃 [335]

Get ready to lace up your running shoes and join me on an exhilarating virtual journey as I take on the iconic United Airlines TCS NYC Half-Marathon! This 13.1-mile race takes runners on a thrilling adventure through the vibrant streets of New York City, from Brooklyn to Central Park, with unforgettable sights and experiences along the way.
Our race begins in Brooklyn, where we set off on the historic Manhattan Bridge and make our way along the scenic FDR Drive. As we run, we're treated to breathtaking views of the city skyline and the shimmering waters of the East River, with the energy of the race filling the air.
But the highlight of the race comes as we enter Times Square, a rare opportunity to run through this iconic landmark that is closed to traffic only twice a year! The bustling streets are alive with excitement as runners weave their way through the heart of Manhattan, surrounded by the bright lights and towering skyscrapers of Times Square.
Despite the perfect weather conditions, I faced a challenge of my own with only four hours of sleep before the race. At the start, fatigue weighed heavy on my limbs, but after just a few miles, the collective energy of the runners and the cheers of the crowd lifted my spirits and propelled me forward.
As I pressed on, the camaraderie of my fellow runners and the unwavering support of the spectators fueled my determination, pushing me to give my all with each stride. And as I crossed the finish line in Central Park, surrounded by cheering crowds and the sense of accomplishment, I couldn't help but smile at the sight of the kids' race, their enthusiasm contagious and inspiring.

The weather was great this year. So cold last year.

[@TheAverageRunner]

It really was. Especially with the week after being frigid again

Nice job on the race and great video!! If you don't mind, do you remember when registration is (November?) and is it hard to get in through the lottery? Thanks!

[@TheAverageRunner]

I entered the lottery in November. I think they did the drawing Nov 20th 2023. I would assume it would be similar time frame for next year's
