Community Impact

NYCRUNS is hard at work to ensure that everyone living and working along the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon course has all the information they’ll need to get around their neighborhoods on race day.

Our goal for the event is to foster a safe and enjoyable environment for runners, their family & friends cheering them on, and the residents, businesses, and institutions in the Brooklyn neighborhoods we run through.
