The course is comprised of just under one full loop around the park with a final sprint up Center Drive.
All NYCRUNS courses are USATF-certified.
Located in the Nethermead, the Festival Area can be accessed via Center Drive or the walking paths off Well House Drive. This is where you'll pick up your bib, check a bag, use the bathroom, and have any questions answered.
NYCRUNS uses a pace-based corral system. Start Corrals are assigned by letter, AA-F. Your Start Corral assignment will be noted on your bib (see Bib Distribution below). Please be in your start corral no later than 15 minutes prior to the start of the race. Corral assignments are based on the pace indicated in your NYCRUNS Dashboard account under Profile. You can update your pace at any time. The Start Corrals are located on Well House Drive.
Bag Check (opens at 4:00 PM) - If you plan on checking any gear, you must use one single clear bag. If your bag isn't clear, NYCRUNS will provide you with a clear bag (18" x 24"). You may not put another full bag/backpack/briefcase filled with gear inside the clear bag that NYCRUNS provides. All items must fit inside one clear bag. NYCRUNS reserves the right to search the contents in your bag at any time.
Bathrooms (open at 4:00 PM) - Portable bathrooms will be available throughout the event.
Hydration - Water will be available on the course and water and Flerish electrolyte fluid will be waiting for you at the finish.
Post Race Refreshments - Refuel after your run with a bag of salty pretzels and a crisp apple.
You can pick up your bib in the Festival Area from 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM. Bibs are only available for pick up on race day. You’ll need to show your unique QR code to pick up your bib (and shirt). Your QR code will be available the week of the race on your NYCRUNS Dashboard under Upcoming Races (we'll also send it to you in a pre-race email). The QR code can be added to your Apple Wallet.
Mass transit is always the best way to get to NYCRUNS events. It's a good idea to check MTA.info on race day for any mass transit updates. The closest subway stations to the Festival Area and the Start are the B/Q at Prospect Park or the F/G at 15th St-Prospect Park. The B68 to Prospect Park Southwest/11th Avenue or the B16 to Ocean Ave/Lincoln Road are the closest stops if you're taking the bus. There are also Citi Bike stations at Prospect Park Southwest/16th Street and Lincoln Road/Ocean Avenue. Parking is limited around the park but if you're getting a ride, use 101 Prospect Park Southwest as your drop off point.
We welcome Handcycle Division and Wheelchair Division athletes at this race as well as the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon and all our 5K races in Prospect Park and Central Park. If your account reflects that you are in one of these divisions, you will automatically be entered into it when you register for this race. You can change your designation at any time in the Profile section of your NYCRUNS Dashboard. To ensure a safe race experience for all, Handcycle & Wheelchair Division athletes should arrive at bib pick-up 90 minutes before the start of the race and must be at the Start Line (ahead of the Start Corrals) ready to race at least 30 minutes prior to the race start time.
