Brooklyn St. Patrick's 5K, 10K & Half Marathon
The event takes place at Veterans Memorial Pier in Brooklyn with an out-and-back boardwalk course that offers views of the Verrazzano Bridge. Distances offered include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
The 5K is one loop out and back along the shore. The 10K is two loops of the same out-and-back. The Half Marathon is four loops and uses two U-turns; runners in the Half Marathon must pass both turnaround checkpoints on each loop for accurate split and finish times. A water station is provided for Half Marathoners at the U-turn closest to the start/finish area and at the start/finish area.
Wheelchair participants are welcome, but the course includes several tight 180-degree turns that may make it less suitable for some wheelchair racers. Amenities include an informal bag check area, bathrooms a few minutes' walk from the start/finish, hydration at the finish line, and refreshments supplied by the listed vendors. Participants receive a finisher tee and medal. Bibs can be mailed for a fee if registered in advance, and in-person bib pickup is available from event staff before the race.
There is online age-group recognition across many categories from under 14 to 90 plus and overall top finishers. Results and finish-line photos are available live online, by email, and by text. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
