Join us as we celebrate our 15-year run of great races and fun vibes and throw it back to 2011. It was a year when we first met Siri on our iPhone, saw England&rsquo;s future King William marry his new Princess Kate, and NYCRUNS introduced a new approach to running events -- serious races that don&rsquo;t take themselves too seriously. A perfect formula for good times on and off the course!
On November 20, 2011, we introduced the first-ever Brooklyn Marathon, which became the Brooklyn Marathon &amp; Half Marathon, and is now the Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon (did you get all that)!
To honor the 262 runners who looped around Prospect Park in the first Brooklyn Marathon, we&rsquo;ll be running it again (and we&rsquo;re throwing in a half for good measure). Join us for the 2025 NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon &amp; Half Marathon and celebrate 15 years of NYCRUNNING!
<h2>THE COURSES</h2>
The half marathon course starts on East Drive and makes just under four full loops of the park before finishing with a left turn off East Drive on to Center Drive for a final push to the finish.
The marathon course starts on Center Drive, makes two lower loops of the park, then six full loops, before finishing with a left turn off East Drive on to Center Drive for a final push to the finish.
Water, electrolyte fluids, restrooms, and medical support will be available throughout both courses.
All NYCRUNS courses are USATF certified.
