nyc: Anyone who run NYC marathon? At the start, You have to take off warming-up jacket/pants. How do you recover them safely? Do you have to go all the way back to Verrazano bridge to look for them? How do you prevent people stealing those expensive apparel?|||with a lot of big city races there are baggage busses where you van drop your kit and pick it up later and the new york marathon might have these thou i don'y know, a check on the website will tell you though. these work on trust and although are staffed, misyakes happen and kit gets lost. yje other option that many people do is to wear old stuff at the start which you can lose. this is discarded at the start just before the gun goes. chatities often clear away these discarded clothes to make money for their good causes. my advice would be to turn up ready to run if it is warm enough, or to wear kit that you van discard at the start rather than risk expensive kit.|||Most major marathons have sweat trucks. You put them in a bag with your bib number written on it. They transport to finish where you pick it up. They should have this on their web site.
