You don’t want to experiment with anything new on race day. If you’re thinking of changing your form, trying a different shoe, or testing out a new product, do it in training first. PowerBar Performance Bars and Fruit Smoothie Bars will be provided at the race start, and PowerBar Gel will be on the course at mile 18. Use them to fuel your long runs over the next few months. Need more incentive? Receive 20% off your next PowerBar product order with the checkout code on our site, and start saving at PowerBarStore.com.

On marathon day, five lucky runners will compete in the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge for fame and bragging rights. If you’re a teacher, administrator, or full-time coach for K-12 students in a school in one of New York’s five boroughs, and you can finish a marathon in 3:00 to 3:30, we want to hear from you. Don’t miss this chance to be featured in the live WNBC-TV broadcast and show the world what you can do! Check our site to learn about the five runners who are chosen, and watch for updates during race week to help you guess who will ultimately win on November 7.
