NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon

The NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon & Half Marathon takes place in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, celebrating 15 years since its 2011 debut. The marathon course features multiple loops around the park, starting on Center Drive with two lower loops followed by six full loops, while the half marathon includes nearly four loops starting on East Drive. Both courses are USATF certified and offer water, electrolyte fluids, restrooms, and medical support.

The event emphasizes a fun, community atmosphere with amenities like bag check, post-race refreshments, finisher medals, and race shirts. It is not recommended for handcycle or wheelchair athletes due to the multi-loop layout. Awards are given to top finishers across various categories.
