Hip Hop Half Marathon & 5K NSRF
The event offers two distance options held at the American Veterans Memorial Pier in Brooklyn, at Shore Rd & Bay Ridge Ave. The course runs along the shore and includes boardwalk views and the Verrazzano.
Distances
- Half Marathon (four-loop course)
- 5K (out-and-back along the shore)
Course and competition notes: the half marathon is four loops and requires runners to cross the finish line on each loop for accurate split times and photos. The 5K is an out-and-back route. Wheelchair participants are welcome, but the course has several tight 180-degree turns that may affect wheelchair racers. Course support is provided for 3 hours 15 minutes.
Amenities and services: hydration is available at the turnaround and finish line, with electrolytes provided for half marathon participants only. Portable toilets and nearby NYC Parks building bathrooms are available within a few minutes walk. An informal bag check area will be provided in the staging area. High quality refreshments are provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Finishers receive a boombox style finisher medal and a tee.
Options and logistics: a virtual participation option is available with a one-week window to log results and upload photos. Bibs can be mailed for a $10 fee if registered at least 10 days in advance; in-person bib pickup is handled at event staff locations near the finish area.
Age groups: overall top finishers and multiple age-group awards are recognized, including a junior category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
