First timer doing NYC marathon

[little tinkerbell]

Hi I Haven't been on the boards in a long while, I would love some info if you guys can help me out, I am doing the NYC marathon by fundraising for ST.Judes children's research hospital, I have done a coupe of half marathons ( the wine and dine half marathon, princess 3 times and this year the glass slipper challenge, the Disney marathon in 2013 ) and the wish boards really helped me in preparing me and helping me to know what to expect, but now for the first time I am not doing a Disney race, and I am getting very nervous as I know nothing of the New York City Marathon! I have no idea what to expect, can you guys help me out? I am staying midtown and I am a run/ walker and mostly in the middle to end of the race
Normally I go with my friends or family to do the races at Disney, so this is also a first going solo
Also are there sweepers like there are at Disney? Help please,
TIA

I do not know much about the race, but you could check out runners worlds forum. They have a sub forum just for the NYC Marathon. You may have to go through a lot a reading to find the information you are looking for, but odds are the answers are there. Good luck @ NYC marathon!

I'm moving this thread to the Events side of WISH. Perhaps someone will have more advice for you.
