Starts Saturday October 16th, 2021
Brooklyn, NY
Official WebsiteThe original Brooklyn Marathon returns (for one year only?) in the form of the NYCRUNS Prospect Park Marathon! For good measure, we added a half for those of you who want less laps of Prospect Park and an ultra for those of you who want more.
Feel like doing this one independently? You may also choose the virtual option.
This race is part of the Triboro Challenge, see below for details
The USATF-Certified, Boston Qualifying marathon will comprise 6 full loops and 3 lower loops of the park.
We are still determining the exact courses for the half marathon and the 50K, but half marathoners can expect to climb the hill between 2 and 3 times and ultra marathoners can expect to see that hill 2-3 more times than the marathoners. These courses will be certified.
One thing you should not expect is mile markers, but we will have signage to help you keep track of where you are on the course.
COVID-19 has changed many things about our events. The following procedures may be in effect for this event:
Prior to the race you will receive details on exact procedures for this event.
Bag check will be provided. To reduce interaction with staff, we encourage you to avoid checking a bag. If you plan on checking a bag, you must use the single clear bag provided by NYCRUNS. You may not put another full bag/backpack/briefcase inside the clear bag. All items must fit inside the clear bag. NYCRUNS reserves the right to search your bag at any time.
Toilets will be provided and cleaned throughout the event.
While we encourage you to bring your own hydration, water and Gatorade will be available on the course and at the finish. Due to COVID-19, we will forgo bagels, spreads and fresh fruit but water at the finish will be delivered in a goodie bag along with Gatorade, Dole Fruit Bowls in 100% Juice and other snacks.
The giveaway for this race will be a tech shirt* and medal. Free finish line photos will be available on your results page within a week of the race.
* In order to cut down on waste, we try not to overorder and sizes are not guaranteed.
There will be no pre-race or race day pickup for this event. Bib mailing is the only way for in person participants to get their bib for this race and is included in the cost of registration. Shirts may be picked up on race day. You must have your bib pinned to your chest to enter the race site.
Shirts and medals will be mailed to virtual participants. Virtual participants will not receive a bib.
Please make sure the shipping address provided at the time of registration will be valid when your items are shipped, 5 - 10 days before the race.
