The Classic Apple Pie HM & 5K
The Classic Apple Pie HM & 5K is an in-person and virtual running event held at Veterans Pier in Brooklyn, New York. The event offers two distances and uses a paved boardwalk route along the shore. Amenities include a finisher medal and T-shirt, fresh apples, and a mini apple pie for every participant. Hydration is provided at the finish line and high quality refreshments are supplied by local vendors. Bathrooms are a short walk from the start and finish areas. An informal bag check area is available in the staging area.
The course layout and participant support:
- Half Marathon: four-loop course with two U-turns.
- 5K: one-loop out and back along the shore.
Wheelchair participants are welcome, though the course contains several tight 180 degree turns that may affect wheelchair racing. Pacers are provided for both the 5K and half marathon. Limited public street parking is available on Bay Ridge Ave and Shore Road; public transportation is encouraged. Virtual participants may log times and upload up to five photos during the virtual period from October 10 to October 18, and virtual gear and bibs begin shipping on the event start day. A bib mailing option is available for a fee if registered at least ten days in advance.
A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
