Dime McCarren 5K Run/Walk
The Dime McCarren 5K Run/Walk is held in June in Brooklyn, New York, with the venue listed as John Ericsson Playground. The event features a 5K (3.1 miles) course that is electronically timed and described as a measured route through North Brooklyn streets. Organizers note a route update due to a road closure at N. 11th St.
The event offers several on-site amenities, including a T-shirt, sport drinks, a post-race spread of fruit and bottled water, toilets, water on the course, and an informal bag check (organizers do not accept responsibility for lost or stolen items). Walkers are not timed; the official time limit for runners is one hour.
Awards are given in multiple categories. Prizes include gift cards for the top three male and female overall finishers, top three in age-group divisions (ages 9 and under through 70+), and top three male and female first responders, with first responders asked to show photo proof for award eligibility. Attendance at the awards presentation is required to receive certificates; certificates will not be issued to substitutes or representatives.
Bib pickup is available at a pre-race location at Brooklyn Running Company and at a packet pickup station on Leonard Street on the day of the event. Registration details and scheduling are announced ahead of the event; registration is not yet open for the upcoming edition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
