Starts Sunday April 24th, 2022
Brooklyn, NY
Official WebsiteOn April 24th 2022, join thousands of marathoners and half marathoners for an epic running journey a decade in the making! Founded in 2011, the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon & Half Marathon now has a course worthy of the borough it calls home and a great new Spring date.
See the course flyover below!
The iconic new 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 grand concourses of Fulton Street & Flatbush Avenue before passing through Grand Army Plaza and into historic brownstone Brooklyn.
Half Marathoners will turn into Brooklyn’s backyard Prospect Park at mile 10 while marathoners will continue to “Sodom By The Sea,” Coney Island U.S.A. before returning to Prospect Park to complete the final 3 miles of the race. It’s an epic tour de force of Brooklyn like none before.
The USATF Certified courses will be electronically timed using the MYLAPS Bibtag system. There will be timing (split) points and clocks throughout the course. Water, Gatorade, and restrooms will be available approximately every 1.5 miles, and medical support will be available throughout the course.
The Official Brooklyn Marathon & Half Marathon Training Program will help you Win Your Race! This 16-week customized program is based on your running history, racing goals, and schedule. Lose the one-size-fits-all PDF’s and let us help you get to the starting line healthy and ready to crush it.
There are two options. The core program is fully automated and will kick off the first week of January. Training Plus adds in remote coaching via e-mail with Head Coach John Honerkamp and his team.
