Distances
- Half Marathon
- 5K
The 5K is a single out-and-back loop along the shore with a marked U-turn. The half marathon is a four-loop course with two U-turns; runners must pass both turnaround checkpoints on each loop for accurate splits and finish times. A 2 hour 45 minute cutoff applies. Wheelchair participants are welcome but the course includes several tight 180 degree turns that may affect suitability. Public street parking is limited on Bay Ridge Avenue and Shore Road, and public transportation is encouraged. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports youth and special needs events and athlete development. Live online results and same-day finish line photos are provided. Bib mailing is available for an additional fee if requested in advance.
