WSR NYC Marathon Cheer Zone!
Details
Join us in LIC to welcome runners to Queens as they enter the second half of the NYC Marathon!
Some of us will be there by 9:30 to save the spot and see the pro runners (or even earlier to see pro handcyclists).
To see our runners starting in Wave 1, arriving at 10:15am should be safe.
The WSR Cheer Zone is on the Queens side of the Pulaski Bridge in LIC. Our plan is to be on the east side of the race course/runners' right, just before the turn onto 48th Avenue (i.e., we’ll be standing on Jackson Avenue). We should be about here: http://goo.gl/GFOFOy
Take the 7 train to Hunters Point Avenue Station and walk towards the Pulaski Bridge.
Be sure to bring signs, cowbells, noisemakers, and whatever else you’ve got. It does get chilly standing outside for a few hours - dress in warm layers and be prepared for the weather. Wear sunscreen - you can get burned even on chilly days. A portable chair, water, and snacks will be great too. We’ll have some snacks to share.
Backup batteries are great if you have them, the tracking app tends to use lots of power.
After our group’s runners pass, we will likely venture off in search of food and/or beverages!
