On April 27th, 2025, over 20,000 runners will complete a remarkable running journey at the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon, one of the nation's biggest, and Brooklyn's best, 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. Hydration stations, medical support, and restrooms will be available at the start, the finish, and along the course.
Half Marathon Course MapThe Experience
NYCRUNS organizes running events of the highest quality that are easy to navigate, focused on safety, and filled with memorable moments. Runners receive a race shirt before the race with their bib and a well-earned medal at the finish, along with bottled Smartwater, fresh Brooklyn bagels (with a shmear of course), NYS apples and more.
Runners can check a bag (at the Expo only) so it's waiting for them at the post-finish hang at the Nethermead in Prospect Park after the race. In the days following the race, runners can purchase photos of their run taking along the 13.1-mile course by MarathonFoto.
In the days prior to the race, runners can visit the 2025 NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon Expo to pick up bibs and race shirts, check a bag for race day, shop for cool race gear, and more.
Runners can make their miles matter more by running for one of our many Cause Partners who are making a difference in Brooklyn and beyond.
