Finish
The NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon Finish Line is located on Center Drive, just off West Drive, in Prospect Park. The post-race Festival Area is located a short walk past the Finish Line in the Nethermead. Due to security and space constraints, access to the Finish Line Area and Festival Area is restricted to event participants, Finish Line Viewing Area pass holders, and credentialed event staff only.
Post-Race Walk Off
After you cross the Finish Line and Win Your Race, you’ll receive your Finisher Medal and rehydrate with a bottle of Essentia water and Gatorade Lemon-Lime Thirst Quencher. As you continue on to the Festival Area, it's time to refuel with a fresh New York State apple and Brooklyn’s best bagel (with a schmear, of course).
