Hey NYCRUNNER –

There are so many reasons the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon is our pride and joy, but one the of things we can’t stop talking about is THE COURSE. Seriously, it really is a whirlwind tour of some of the most popular places in Brooklyn! Here are some of the highlights:

Williamsburg: Starting in one of Brooklyn’s hippest neighborhoods, with so much to do and see. If you’re coming from out of town and staying near the Start, there’s so many great grub options to fuel up pre- and post-race!

DUMBO: We’re not kidding when we boast 13.1 miles of photo ops – but we’re sure you’re going to want to slow your pace for a selfie when you run under the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, AND Manhattan Bridges!

Fulton & Flatbush: Where the Brooklyn energy really comes to life! Streets normally bustling with cars and buses will instead be lined with cheer zones, course bands and spectators ready to give you the boost you need to get you through the second half of your race.

Eastern Parkway: Run past landmarks like Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, and Brooklyn Museum while running ON a landmark – Eastern Parkway, dubbed the world’s first parkway, is itself a piece of Brooklyn history.

Prospect Park: Our backyard and yours! When you enter here, you’re in the home stretch – both because the finish line is near and you’re in every Brooklynite’s home away from home.
