Register for a seat on PPTC's buses to the start of the New York City Marathon. (Runners Only)
The PPTC Buses are now SOLD OUT. There is no waitlist. If you have not already purchased a seat on the buses, please make other arrangements to get to the start of the NYCM.
The buses will be leaving from Fleet Feet in Park Slope (474 Fifth Avenue) and will take you directly to Fort Wadsworth. Fleet Feet will be providing a bathroom, a place to be warm and dry, and the opportunity to purchase any last minute items. There will be a bathroom available on each of the buses. If you are taking the PPTC bus, you will need to be in front of Fleet Feet by 5:15AM to be checked in. The last bus leaves promptly at 5:45AM. Pre-registration for a seat on the bus is required.
We will also offer bag check so you can have clean, dry clothes and other belongings waiting for you at the PPTC post-race reunion. Bags (small ones, please) will be driven from Fleet Feet to PS 87 (located at 160 West 78th Street, near the finish line - enter from the West 77th Street entrance). If you need anything at Fort Wadsworth, do not put it in the bag you check! Do not take your bag onto the bus. The buses are not going to the school and are not returning to Brooklyn. There will be early bag-check available on Saturday for members who are not taking the bus. If you are taking the PPTC buses to the start, you should bring your bag with you on Sunday morning and not check your bag on Saturday.
Please make sure your name (first and last), phone number, bib number, and starting wave number are on the outside of the bag. Registrations are non-refundable, unless otherwise specified. Member registrations may only be transferred to other currently active PPTC members. Note: Members who are NOT taking the bus, but who would like a bag waiting for them at the post-race reunion at the school will have an opportunity to check a bag at Fleet Feet on Saturday (November 2) from 2PM to 6PM.
Note: NYRR has asked us to provide them with the list of people who will be taking the PPTC buses. When you register to take the bus, you will be asked for the email address associated with your NYRR account and your NYRR member/customer ID (this is a number that can be found in your NYRR dashboard).
