The NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon & Half Marathon is a nostalgic, late-fall event that throws back to the race's original 2011 format by setting the entire course within the beautiful confines of Prospect Park. It offers both the traditional Marathon (26.2 miles) and Half Marathon (13.1 miles) distances, requiring participants to complete multiple loops around the park's scenic drives. This event provides an intimate, community feel and is renowned for its course support, post-race refreshments, and celebratory atmosphere as runners complete their challenging circuits. The race honors NYCRUNS' 15-year history of hosting events with a formula of "serious races that don't take themselves too seriously."
