#TCSNYCMarathon New York City Marathon – Spectator Tracking Guide

Phew, done, updated, here is a tracking sheet you can send your friends and families, so they know where they can see you on race day and at what time.

Basically, you enter the runner’s (you!) bib number, wave time, and your predicted finish in the yellow cells, and it throws a page ready to print with splits for every mile so your fans can track you. It also has the closest train stops. And they can add up to 3 people. Or, you can add your goal A, B and C! And tell them to assume 5 to 10 minutes up or down depending on how sure you are on your goal/pacing.

Tell them also to get the nycm app, that will help a lot too!

Just fill the YELLOW CELLS for yourself and/or each runner and PRINT! I added myself in there as example, so you can just write over it. Sorry if it’s messy, I updated it quickly so if anything is not working pls let me know!

Once you hit print, you’ll get a sheet like this, you can send to all your fans. It says 2023 but you know the course hasn’t changed in years.

This is great, and I hope to use it in the near future. I sat out NYCM this year with hopes of running the Marine Corps Marathon, but issues with a herniated disc in my lower back wrecked those plans.

    I received the green light (well, yellow light) to start running again. Slow and steady is my approach. To set an end goal, I think that I’m going to register for Philly Love Run half in March.
    
    Good luck with NYCM!!! I’m making an assumption that you are running since you posted your Excel spreadsheet.
