If you look closely, you can see the additional piece of paper in our registration packet. It is the first evidence of how the tragedy at the Boston Marathon has touched routine racing at Central Park. At least for this race, we received these clear bags that we label if we want to check them, as we are not allowed to bring backpacks into the park for this race. Whether it will be a standard policy going forward I can't say. The bottom line is that we run in support of our friends up north, we are here for you. Here is a closer look:
In addition, I just received this email from NYRR with further details:
Sunday, April 21 | 8:00 a.m.
| 4-Mile Race in Central Park
As part
of our ongoing focus on the safety of our runners, and in partnership with
the NYPD, we have implemented enhanced security measures, detailed below, for
this Sunday’s race. We ask that you arrive early on race day, and we
appreciate your full cooperation with these procedures in order to avoid any
interruption to the day’s events.

•
|
Race-day registration, T-shirt
pickup, and baggage drop-off will be located inside Rumsey Playfield.
Everyone who enters Rumsey Playfield will be subject to a security screening.
|
•
|
We strongly encourage you not to
bring a bag to Central Park. However, if you’re registering or picking up
your race materials on race day and bring a bag, you will be given a clear
bag at the entrance to Rumsey Playfield. You must transfer the contents of
your own bag into the clear bag before you proceed to the registration tent.
Any unattended bags will be confiscated by NYPD and could cause an
interruption to the day’s events.

|
There will be no trash cans in the
race vicinity this weekend. We encourage you to hand your trash to our
volunteers and staff members.
|
•
|
Toilets along the course will be
located only at mile 2.
|
•
|
Kids’ Races will start on West
Drive (running east on the 72nd Street Transverse) and end at the same finish
line as the adult race. Due
to these changes, Kids’ Races will now start a half-hour later at 9:30 a.m.

•
|
NYRR and the NYPD reserve the
right to search any bag at any time, both within and outside the baggage
area.

I'll be there. I've volunteered in the baggage area. I hope volunteers can buy the "I run for Boston" shirts, too! Stop by to say hi, if you have time.
Have fun on the tribute run! Its so sad to see how many security measures have to be in place for races now. Never thought it would ever come to that for runners, sad sad thing.
