On Saturday we will walk 26.2 miles (a marathon). On Sunday, 13.1 miles. The google map below has the designated “cheering stations.” So if you’re in NYC, and want to cheer us on, please stop by. We’re shooting for doing the full 26.2 miles on Saturday (fingers crossed). There’s also a 13.1 mile option that day.

There are 18 cheer stations on Saturday (pink ribbons) and 9 for Sunday (horns).
Saturday Cheering Stations
Pier 1 (Mile 1.3)
W 70th Street 7:00am-8:00am (we should be here between 7:00 – 7:10am)
Riverside Skate Park (Mile 3.3)
Riverside Drive & 109th St. 7:30am-9:00am (we should be there about 7:45 – 8:00)
General Ulysses S. Grant National Memorial (Mile 4.2)
122nd St. & Riverside Drive West 7:30am-10:00am (we should be there between 8:05 – 8:15)
142nd and Riverside Drive (Mile 5.6)

Though they’re asking people to not crowd this one so they can be invited back next year, so the one below may be better. Though I wonder b/c I thought the distance from 64th street to 46 street along 9th Avenue was almost a mile, not a half-mile. Yeah, even Mapquest agrees that it’s .84 miles.
46th St & 9th Avenue (Mile 10.9) 10:00am-1:45pm
29th St & 9th Avenue (Mile 13.1) 10:00am-2:00pm Half-way point (and very close to our hotel for the night! We should be here hopefully between 11:05 – 11:15.
Bleecker St & Mercer St (Mile 14.4) 10:00am-2:00pm I think lunch is at the 13.1 mile marker (not sure though), so from this point on it’s hard to say when we’ll arrive. Maybe 11:45 – 12:15pm
Pedestrian Entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge – Manhattan Side (Mile 15.7)
Corner of Centre Street & Park Row 11:00am-2:30pm (12:10 – 12:35)

Of course, these times are all estimates. I’ll have my phone, so call if you want to know our location (of course, I’ll have to stop walking to talk), so maybe, call Chris instead.
Tomorrow, I’ll post Sundays rest stops.
