Fifty thousand runners pass through this room in three days, which makes it the densest concentration of marathon energy in the city. You do not need a bib to walk the floor — the gear, the pace-team stands and the sheer nervous excitement are open to anyone curious about what race week actually looks like.
What to expect
A large convention-floor expo with vendors, brand activations and bib pickup, busiest on the Friday and Saturday.
Good to know
- Runners must collect race numbers in person — there is no mailing
- Javits Center, 11th Avenue at 34th Street
- The 7 train to 34th St–Hudson Yards is the closest subway
