Family and friends have many options to experience the sights and sounds of Brooklyn and cheer you on throughout the 13.1-mile course.

COURSE MAP

Good Spots On The Course To Watch From

  • Barclays Center - Cheer runners on at the halfway point of the race at the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues. You'll have no problem finding a subway to get you there as the R, N, D, 2, 3, 4, 5, Q, and B lines all stop at Barclays.

  • Williamsburg Bridge Area - Take the J or M trains to Marcy Avenue and walk west for some great views.

  • Dumbo – Ride the F train to York Avenue and take in the cobblestone vibe.

  • Cadman Plaza - Take the 2, 3, 4, 5, or R trains to Court Street/Borough Hall and hang out in front of Brooklyn Borough Hall.

  • Grand Army Plaza / Eastern Parkway – Your supporters can see you twice here, then head over to the Festival Area and meet you after the race. Take the 2 or 3 trains to Brooklyn Museum.
