Bib & Shirt Pickup

  • You must pick up your race bib and official race shirt prior to race day at the Expo (if you didn't purchase Bib & Shirt Mailing). Bib pick up will not be available on race morning.

  • You’ll receive an email with your unique QR code in the weeks prior to the race (it’ll also be available on your NYCRUNS Dashboard).

  • You’ll need to show your QR code to pick up your bib and shirt.

  • You can have another runner pick up your bib and shirt for you, as long as they have a screenshot of your QR code.  

  • Bib transfers are strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification. As per NYCRUNS policy and for the safety of all runners, only you can run with the bib that's assigned to you.

  • If you can’t make it to the Expo prior to the race, you can sign up for Bib & Shirt Mailing when you register for the race.

Proxy Bib Pickup

You can have another runner or other proxy pick up your bib and shirt for you. The proxy must have a screenshot of the race QR confirmation code of the runner(s) they are picking up the bib(s) for.

How To Wear Your Bib

On race day, please make sure to pin your bib on all four sides to the front of your outermost piece of clothing (preferably above your waist). If your bib is not visible, you risk not being official scored for the race.

Bag Check

  • You must check your bag prior to race day at the Expo. Bag Check will not be available on race morning.

  • You can check one single clear bag, which we can provide you with (18" x 24") if you don’t have one.

  • Bags will be available for pickup in the post-finish Festival Area in Prospect Park.

Toast Your Bib

After picking up your bib on Thursday or Friday after 4:00 PM, Brooklyn-based Threes Brewing will be providing runners with a $5 flagship pint at Threes Brewing in Greenpoint, just a short walk from Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse. Toast your run with our favorite local craft beer.
