Hip Hop Half Marathon & 5K NSRF
The event takes place at the American Veterans Memorial Pier in Brooklyn, along the shore at Shore Road and Bay Ridge Avenue. It offers in-person and virtual participation and supports the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.
Distances
- Half Marathon : four loop course along the pier and shore
- 5K : out and back along the shore
Course details note that the half marathon is run as four loops with a marked U-turn for each loop and that runners must cross the finish line on each loop for accurate split timing and photos. Wheelchair participants are welcome, but several tight 180 degree turns may make the course less suitable for some wheelchair racers. Course support is provided for 3 hours 15 minutes.
Amenities include hydration at the turnaround and finish, electrolytes for half marathoners only, portable toilets and nearby building bathrooms, an informal bag check area, and refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Finishers receive a boombox finisher medal and a tee. Age group recognition is awarded overall and across standard age categories.
Bib options include in-person pickup at the Grecian Center (Peristyle/Finish Line) or mailing for a fee if registered at least 10 days in advance. Virtual participants can log times and upload photos within the event posting window. Public street parking is available on Bay Ridge Avenue and Shore Road and public transportation access is listed for the pier area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
