NSRF Hip Hop Half Marathon & 5K : American Veterans Memorial Pier
The event offers two timed running options along the shore at the American Veterans Memorial Pier in Brooklyn. The course routes run along the boardwalk with views of the Verrazzano.
Distances:
- Half Marathon: four-loop course along the shore, with a U-turn at the Half Marathon sign.
- 5K: one out-and-back loop with a U-turn at the 5K sign.
Course notes indicate wheelchair participants are welcome, but several tight 180 degree turns may make this course less suitable for wheelchair racers. Course support is provided for a limited duration, and runners must pass through the finish line on each loop for accurate split timing and photos.
Amenities include an informal bag check area, portable toilets and nearby park building bathrooms, hydration at the turnaround and finish, and electrolytes available for Half Marathon participants only. Post-race items include a boombox finisher medal and a tee. High quality refreshments are supplied by event partners.
A virtual participation option is available; virtual entrants may record and post times within a set posting window and receive mailed event items. Age group recognition is awarded top finishers overall and across standard age brackets from 14 and under through 90 plus. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation.
