Monday · checkout and departure

  • Ask the hotel about late checkout and luggage storage; neither is guaranteed.
  • Pack before race day where practical.
  • Leave extra time for luggage, station stairs and the airport journey.
Choose a Monday meal

If you need medical help, follow race medical staff or emergency services. A restaurant, flight or spa appointment can wait.

Optional: Great Jones Spa

A NoHo spa with massage services and a water lounge. Treat it as optional comfort, read the current access and cancellation terms, and skip heat, cold, or massage when symptoms call for medical judgment.

Departure notes

Make checkout part of recovery

Pack most of the room before race morning so Monday does not begin with bending, sorting, and a deadline. Ask about luggage storage and late checkout early; marathon-weekend demand can remove both options.

If the flight is later, use one compact neighborhood instead of crossing the city with bags. A seated breakfast, short flat walk, and reliable airport transfer are enough of a Monday itinerary.

  • Keep compression, medication, and travel clothes outside checked luggage.
  • Add extra time for station stairs and slower walking.
  • Choose medical advice over a fixed sightseeing plan when symptoms are concerning.
