BE AT THE HANDBALL COURTS FOR BOARDING AT 7AM, EARLIER IF YOU WANT PHOTOS. BUS LEAVES AT 7:10 SHARP.
WE WILL TAKE A GROUP PICTURE AND HOPEFULLY TALK TO SOME LOCAL REPORTERS FROM THE RIVERDALE PRESS.

PLEASE WEAR YOUR VCTC CLOTHING
(Please note: If the temperatures are cold on race day morning, I HIGHLY recommend bringing extra extra clothes. Being cold before a marathon is not smart or fun!)

The first wave of the NYC marathon starts at 9:40am. We should be in Staten Island within 45 minutes after we leave Van Cortlandt Park.Here is the NYC marathon webpage about the starting waves and other important information:http://www.nycmarathon.org/entrantinfo/start_services.htm

See you all soon!

Comment by Paul Aroyo on November 2, 2011 at 12:41pm: Hey all,

I am running on behalf of Autism Speaks this NYC Marathon and will bus over with them. I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of you a great race and I hope to see some of you on the course. While I will be wearing Autism Speaks gear, I will have VCTC and my Marathon Maniac # written on the front and back of my singlet so if you see me please say hi. I will also be at the start of Saturday's Halloween Marathon taking pics in my VCTC singlet, hope to see some of you there. Have a great rest of the week VCTC'ers.

Mike may not know....

There will be buses. Just follow the crowd.

Comment by Elisa Messore on November 1, 2011 at 10:49pm: Hi Michael, I'm a newbie and appreciate all the tips and guidance. I still have one question about getting from the ferry to the start village. How does that work?
