- Where is the best place for packet pickup?
- Packet pickup typically takes place at the race HQ near 7th and Warren Street on the Friday afternoon before the race and early Saturday morning.
- Is the course entirely flat?
- No, while Hudson is near the river, the course along Warren Street features a steady, gradual incline that makes for a challenging uphill finish.
- What is the best way to get to Hudson from NYC?
- The Amtrak Empire Service runs directly from Penn Station to Hudson Station. It is highly recommended to avoid weekend traffic.
- Are there bag drops available at the start?
- Yes, a supervised bag drop is located near the start line at 8th Street; your gear will be transported to the finish area near the waterfront if required.
- Is there parking available on race morning?
- Parking on Warren Street is restricted. Use the municipal lots near Front Street or the Amtrak station and walk up to the start line.
- What kind of footwear is recommended?
- Standard road running shoes are ideal. The course is entirely on paved asphalt, though some sections near the waterfront have older surfaces.
