I'm planning on running a race in Central Park tomorrow-- where should I put my wallet, etc. to prevent it getting stolen (taking the train there)? The race website claims they have a "baggage service" but they're not responsible for stolen items so what do you guys do at these races?
Travel light. Just bring your subway card and a small amount of emergency cash. And consider putting those in a wrist wallet. If you need to go out somewhere after the race, add a credit card (probably better to carry that, but if it gets stolen you should be OK if you report it the same day) But don't bring your life savings to the race. No need to bring your wallet.
Always carry ID in case you fall down go BOOM!NYC Emergency Rooms treat John Does like ..even if its only Name& Address
and Blood Type.
