Thanks for being a Runner’s World+ member! The survey period has closed for the 2025 NYRR Brooklyn Half.
Our selected team of RW+ members includes Sofia Rodriguez, Frank Alexander, Kristian Mines, and Peter McGlashan.
The New York Road Runners (NYRR) RBC Brooklyn Half has been recognized as the largest half marathon in the country for the last two years, touting a record-setting 28,000 participants in 2024. Now in its 43rd year, runners will once again embark on a 13.1-mile journey through Brooklyn on Saturday, May 17, starting at Prospect Park (the same spot that the NYC Half, also organized by NYRR, kicks off) and finishing on the famous Coney Island boardwalk. Pretty cool, right?
