Let’s say you were cheering for someone who will run ~3:45–how many times do you think you could see them on the course? Would you just try to catch them on 1st Ave then again in Central Park? Or is it feasible to catch them in Brooklyn/Queens, take the subway back to Manhattan, then do 1st Ave+CP?
Get one of those Rent-a-Bikes you see in all the cities and you can see them as many times as you want. Just ride to the next parallel street, ride a few blocks, and get back on the course. Repeat as desired.
