The NYC Holiday Classic is a festive running event held at Fort Hamilton, the oldest active military base in the U.S., located in Brooklyn, New York. Participants can choose from distances of 13.1 miles (half marathon), 6.2 miles (10K), or 3.1 miles (5K). The scenic course features views of the Verrazano Bridge and the NYC skyline, running past historic military walls.

Runners are encouraged to dress in holiday costumes, adding a fun and spirited atmosphere. The event offers professional timing with live results, water stations every 1.5 miles, high-quality tech shirts, commemorative medals, and awards for top finishers.
