Date: Saturday, May 21, 2022
Departure from the Bronx

Place: Handball Courts (Broadway just south of 242nd street subway, park side)

Specific drop-off in Brooklyn will be determined closer to race day once NYRR communicates details

FAQ:
May I pay on the bus?
No payments on the bus please. This is the only way we can get an accurate count ahead of time, plus we do not want to have to deal with cash on race day.
Why do we leave so early?
To avoid bad traffic and congestion at security, baggage check, at the start, and to make sure Wave 1 runners get there on time, we have found this early departure time works best.
May I leave my stuff on the bus?
Yes, you may, but the buses are a bit of a walk from the finish line at Coney Island, and if you want dry/warm clothes right after you finish, you may want to check a bag.
Can I take the bus one way only?
Yes, you may–same price either way.
Any other questions?
