If you choose to bring E-ZPASS for your return trip, be sure to bring the silver "read prevention" bag for the westbound leg. If you do not have one, you can order one from E-Z PASS or consider leaving the tag at home.

There is a 24 hr Mobil station 1/2 mile west of Exit 11 on the Belt Parkway. There is also a 24 hr Shell station 2 miles north of Floyd Bennett Field, on Flatbush Ave. (if you fuel at the Mobil you must use EXIT 11N and turn around)

We are working to have coffee/donuts/bagels at the field, the morning of the run.
If needed, there is a 24hr Rite-Aid on Flatbush Ave across from the Shell station.
