Dime McCarren 5K Run/Walk
The Dime McCarren 5K Run/Walk is scheduled for June 13, 2026 at John Ericsson Playground in Brooklyn, NY. The event is a community 5K run and walk that follows a measured 3.1 miles course through North Brooklyn streets and to the water's edge. The course is electronically timed and the official time limit for runners is one hour; walkers will not be timed.
Originally launched in 2012 by St. Nicks Alliance in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, the event aims to engage the neighborhood and raise funds for local services. Registration fees support St. Nicks Alliance programs, which include affordable housing, job training and job search assistance, elder care and senior centers, daycare and after school programs, and high school and college access support. In 2026 St. Nicks Alliance marks 51 years of service and reports serving 18,468 low and moderate income people annually.
The event offers both timed and untimed options, including a family untimed walk. Amenities listed for participants include T shirts, sport drinks, water on course, a post race spread of fruit and bottled water, toilets, and an informal bag check. Awards are planned for top overall and age group finishers with specified prize amounts for overall, age group, and first responder categories; first responders eligible for awards must present photo proof before awards are given.
