ABOUT NYCRUNS BROOKLYN MARATHON & HALF MARATHON
Founded in 2011, the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon & Half Marathon began as a community race in Prospect Park, with approximately 7,000 participants. More than a decade later, with over 20,000 athletes expected to participate and a roster of partners including global brands and local businesses alike, the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon & Half Marathon has hit the streets and will include several of Brooklyn’s most beloved neighborhoods. The iconic new route starts in hip North Brooklyn and winds around the waterfront, taking runners under the historic Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges while delivering eye-popping views of Manhattan. From there, the route heads up the grand concourses of Fulton Street & Flatbush Avenue before passing through Grand Army Plaza and into historic brownstone Brooklyn, finally finishing in Prospect Park.
