The Brooklyn Spring
The Brooklyn Spring takes place in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, with race operations centered near the Peristyle at Park Side Avenue and Parade Place. The event offers three distances: a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K, each run on the same tree-lined loop along the park’s main drive, which is closed to traffic for the morning.
The course is a rolling loop with about 140 feet of climbing per lap. Distances follow a loop format: the half runs multiple laps including an opening segment and repeated laps, the 10K runs an opening segment plus one lap, and the 5K is a single loop of roughly 3.1 miles. Water stations are placed three times per loop and provide water, Gatorade, and gels. The course shares the road with a bike lane; runners are instructed to stay in the runner’s lane.
Race logistics include same-day bib pickup beginning 45 minutes before each start, a bag check area, and portable toilets at the start. Chip timing is used and per-lap splits and final times are posted live. Every finisher receives a tech shirt and a medal; overall and age-group awards are given to top finishers. Entry rules require visible bibs worn on the front, signed waivers, a minimum age of six, and adherence to equipment and conduct restrictions.
