NSRF The Awesome 80's Half Marathon & 5K

The Awesome 80's Half Marathon & 5K

The event is a themed run/walk in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, with both in-person and virtual participation options. Distances offered include a half marathon and a 5K run/walk. The 5K uses a USATF certified loop at Prospect Park; the half marathon consists of four laps of that certified 5K loop. Runners must cross the finish-line mats on each loop so split times and photos sync correctly.

Start and finish activities are staged at the Grecian Shelter, the Peristyle, which also serves as the meeting point and the location for finish line and bib pickup. An informal bag check is provided in the staging area; organizers do not accept responsibility for personal belongings. Restrooms are located a few minutes' walk from the start and finish. Hydration and refreshments are provided at the finish line by the listed vendors. Participants receive a cassette tee and a finisher medal.

Additional event details include a half marathon cutoff time of 2:45 hours and a requirement to begin the final lap by 2:05 hours. Bib mailing is available for a fee, and virtual participants may submit times and photos within the event posting window. Top finishers are recognized overall and across age groups from 14 and under up to 90 plus. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation.
