RBC Brooklyn Half

Passionate runners, small business owners, artists, makers, and hosts: there’s no community quite as diverse yet tightly knit as the one found in Brooklyn. Leading up to the Airbnb Brooklyn Half Marathon, we’ll be celebrating the people, places, and colorful experiences to be found ALL IN Brooklyn.

Our hosts help guests find the most authentic, beloved local gems in their area, and Brooklyn is no different. To celebrate their favorite BK places, we’ve put together a few pedestrian-friendly routes  to explore the best of BK. Use these maps as a marathon warm-up… or celebratory cool-down.

To celebrate Brooklyn’s rich and diverse community, we are hosting three days of events leading up to race day. Come out to Pier 2 at Brooklyn Bridge Park to experience the best of the borough through tastings, art installations, demonstrations… even mini golf!

Start near the Brooklyn Museum and run past the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and around Grand Army Plaza before entering Prospect Park. After a loop around the park, exit from the southwest corner onto Ocean Parkway and cruise toward world-famous Coney Island for a triumphant finish on the boardwalk.
