I changed my flight to D.C. that was supposed to happen this weekend to my flights for Marathon Weekend so I am fully committed now!!!
I fly in Tuesday the 8th and leave Tuesday the 15th. I am so ready for this week of fun. And I guess some races too.

Anyone get a massage after in the massage tent? I was thinking maybe after the half before the full the next day. I'm not sure I'll do it but wondering if it's worth it or chaotic. And do they take cash or credit card, anyone know? Thanks!

I did it after the full this year. I'm a slower runner so there were quite a few people there but I think I waited about 10 minutes. I had my money in my pocket and it was all sweaty. I kept apologizing to the lady when I handed it to her. LOL

No offense but if your money was sweaty imagine what your body that she was massaging was like
I'd love to try it on my sweaty self but my legs are pretty devastated after the marathon and I'm not sure how useful it would be for me then. Maybe that's just the trick? Hopefully others will chime in too.

None taken! I guess that's why there was a giant bottle of hand sanitizer at every table. lol
My legs were really tight and I think the massage helped. Even if it didn't, at least I got to lie down for 20 minutes.

I want to know how many people cannot get back up again, or if they have to budget more time for the slow speed of movement afterward.

A 10 minute wait isn't bad. Sweaty money! good point to make note, I'll use a ziplock. I'm dealing with a lot of tightness now that's what made me think of it and I've never done it, so glad you think it helped.

Canadian.

It's what we do.

Not going to lie, I had trouble getting back up.
Maybe that's why they use mylar blankets to cover the table so they can just pull on the blanket to get you off.

If I got a massage after a half or a full it would become a bonus salt scrub. I sweat horribly. After a race you can feel the gritty salt on my skin.

How much do post race massages cost?

I think I paid $20 for 20 minutes. You can have a longer massage and I believe it worked out to be a $1 a minute.

That doesn't sound too bad. It may sound even better after the race is over.

The best time for a massage is really the next day. Walk around on Sunday afternoon to keep them from fully tightening up, wake up feeling like they're frozen, and have a massage to loosen them back up before DATW or a full day in the parks.
