Her er et kart jeg har lagd for de som ønsker å se 2015 New York City Marathon. Det er lett å se løperne 2 ganger, 3 og 4 ganger er også mulig. Noen forklaringer (bare Engelsk): You can click on the map to get a larger map. Click on the bottom right on the zoomed map to go back to normal view.
There are SO many people out cheering, so it's important that the friends / family agrees with the runner before the race exactly where they will be to cheer. Otherwise, it may happen, that the runner don't see them. Also, agree which side of the street. It may help if the spectators carry a flag, a sign or something that's easy to see. You also have the possibility to see the runners 1 or 2 times in Brooklyn before going to the points that I have described in Manhattan. Then you are able to see the runners 3 or 4 times on the course. There are several options, taxi, bicycle, subway and more. However, I will only describe how to use the subway. The safest is to see the runners one time in Brooklyn. Then you don't have to change subways. You can take the 4-subway from Manhattan to Nevins St. in Brooklyn. Then you are right on the course at the 8 mile mark (corner of Flatbush Ave. and Lafayette Ave.). The subway from for example 59th St. in Manhattan takes about 20 minutes. After seeing the runners there, you take the 4-subway back to Manhattan to 86th. St. Then you see the runners at my point S1, at about 17.5 miles. You should have plenty of time to get there, the subway takes about 25 minutes. If you want to see the runners twice in Brooklyn, you can leave early for Nevins St. There you change to the R-subway at DeKalb Ave. and take the R-subway to 77th. St / 4th. Ave. at mile 5. Then you may have a problem getting back to mile 8 in time to see them again, so I don't recommend that. In addition, you HAVE TO check the subway schedule the day before to see if there are any problems and make a note of the schedule. You can do that on the MTA web site. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I have run the New York City Marathon 36 times, so I should be able to answer many questions. Send me an email (runar.bg@gmail.com) if you have any comments or suggestions for improvements to the map. GOOD LUCK! Runar B. Gundersen, Updated: January 15, 2015 |
