Comments: Thanks so much for all this information! I have been studying it religiously since I got selected for this years running!
I couldn't send you an email so I'll post my only question here. I am wave 4 based on my 2015 NYM run time (5:40). But I'm targeting <4 hours for this year. Since there is no way to move up in waves, will I just be dodging people for a while as I try to hit that target?
Thanks and looking forward to meeting you hopefully!
Admin reply: You will be able to run at your own speed after the first mile, maybe before that, depending on your corral.

Comments: Thank you so much for providing all of the information on the website. This will be my third marathon and first NY.
I really like your flag suggestion. I bought arm sleeve flags that I will proudly wear at the race. One is the US flag and the other is the Canadian flag. (I’m a dual citizen)

Comments: This website and the FB page are a godsend. I am a first time marathon runner and thus website has helped me so much. Thank you so much Runar for setting something like this up. It really means a lot because a lot if questions have been answered & some I didn't even know I had were answered from people having similar thoughts.

I appreciate you so much.

Comments: Runar,
I just wanted you to know that I did send an e-mail to the President at the White House. I don't know if it will do any thing to help you and the other runners affected by Shengen, but I felt it was something I could do to try to get you folks over in time for the marathon.
I will let you know if I hear of any change from that source.
By the way, I am not political and don't have any political clout, but since January 6, 2021, I have decided to not be a silent majority member any longer. I will protest, but I will do it in a peaceful thoughtful manner by correspondence and politeness.
