Join us for our last Brooklyn race of the year! Whether you run the 5K or the 10 Miler, there'll be a well-deserved sweet treat waiting for you at the finish line. After you WIN YOUR RACE, grab your hard-earned hot cocoa and enjoy your day in Brooklyn's backyard!

Event Schedule:

Athlete Arrival - 6:00 AM

10M - 8:30M

Course:

The 10 Miler course is almost three full loops of the park and the 5K is less than one loop. Both races finish on Center Drive.

Amenities:

Bag Check (opens at 6:00 AM) - If you plan on checking your 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") when you check your gear.

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.

Restrooms (open at 6:00AM) - Portable restrooms will be available throughout the event.

Hydration - Water and electrolyte fluids will be available on the course and at the finish.

Post Race Refreshments - Further hydration, bagels (with a schmear, of course), fresh fruit, and HOT COCOA will be available after you finish.

Swag (distribution begins at 6:00 AM) - The giveaway for this race will be a tech shirt. Shirts may be picked up on race day only. In order to cut down on waste, we try not to over order and shirt sizes are not guaranteed. If you have your heart set on a size, we recommend picking up your shirt before the race.
