On April 28th, 2024, tens of thousands of runners will complete a remarkable running journey at the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon.

The iconic route starts in hip North Brooklyn and winds around the waterfront taking you under the historic Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges while delivering eye popping views of Manhattan.

From there, the route heads up the historic concourses of Fulton Street & Flatbush Avenue before passing through Grand Army Plaza and into fabled brownstone Brooklyn before finishing in Prospect Park.

The Course

The USATF Certified course will be electronically timed using the MYLAPS Bibtag system. There will be timing (split) points and clocks throughout the course. Water, Lemon Lime Nuun Endurance, and restrooms will be available approximately every 1.5 miles. Medical support will be available throughout the course.

The Prospect Park Track Club will be providing pace teams from 1:30 - 3:00 paces.
