You will be running with the flow of traffic for the first 5.6 miles.
A reminder that traffic will not be stopped during the race, and you must follow all traffic signals, paying special attention at Franklin St and NY-14 - stopping and waiting may be necessary. Failure to do so will result in disqualification and potentially injury or death.
There will be an aid station at approximately 2.9 miles, once you’ve turned onto Whites Hollow Rd. There will be water, Gatorade electrolyte drink, and some bananas.
You will need to cross the road at about mile 5.6 - again, exercise caution and cross when it is safe to do so.
