The essential runner experience aspects of our show floor will be the first touch point as runners enter through the left of Crystal Palace this hall will have Bib collection, T-Shirt Collection and New Balance s official retail outlet. A forced floor will have runners exit New Balance, through a New York Road Runners space containing race information and our youth and community programs, prior to entering the vendor show floor. NYRR will have two additional footprints in the top right corner and bottom right corner, which will feature programs such as our Race Predictor, pace teams and Course Strategy sessions - programs we have built equity within over many years. This will pull runners across the entire floor, creating a beneficial flow for all vendors. 5
