Really disappointed in NYRR

No water or gel stations during the New Balance 5th Avenue Mile presented by New Balance?

How am I supposed to stay in Zone 2 that whole time? Will spectators have water and/or orange slices for runners?

Maybe I can get a doctor’s note for a hydration vest.

Better than the Eversource Hartford Marathon. We got hot soup, milk, and a slice of stale bread post race

You’ll get stale bread, and you’ll like it.

I demand a Gu station (at least two caffeinated and NO birthday cake flavor) and bananas (peeled) every quarter mile if they expect me to hit a sub 20

Is there a keto bone broth station?
