Starting October 26th, we’re giving Nike+ Members seven days of benefits and special events in NYC to help prepare and inspire them for the Marathon like only NIKE can. Think of this as a week-long, city-wide red carpet with daily stops that will give you a running start when the gun fires on November 1st. Nike+ Member Benefits include advance access to event apparel and footwear, training runs, concierge services, race-day transportation, social events and more. See the complete schedule below for details.

To participate, stop by the Nike+ Member desk at NIKETOWN NY (6 East 57th St, 3rd floor) or the NIKE Expo Booth (Javits Center, 34th Street and 11th Avenue) to pick up your events schedule and Nike+ Member Red Card. Your Member Red Card will act as your credential for the week, as well as give access to your Nike+ Member Concierge, a service providing restaurant and entertainment recommendations, access to great deals and discounts, as well as aid in any of your race weekend needs. We’ll also have a mobile Nike+ Member kiosk roaming the streets of NYC; stay in the loop on Twitter @26PT2NYC.
