The Classic Apple Pie HM & 5K : Veterans Pier, Brooklyn : October 10, 2026
The event offers two race distances along a paved boardwalk at Veterans Pier in Brooklyn. Options include in-person and virtual participation, and a bib-mailing option is available for an additional fee.
- Half Marathon (four loops; two U-turns)
- 5K (one loop out and back along the shore)
The 5K course is an out-and-back along the shore. The half marathon uses four loops with two turnaround points; runners must pass both turnaround checkpoints each loop for accurate splits. The course has several tight 180-degree turns and may not be ideally suited for wheelchair racers.
Amenities include a finisher medal and T-shirt, mini apple pies for all finishers, fresh apples, and refreshments provided by event partners. There will be an informal bag-check area and nearby bathroom access. Hydration will be available at the finish line and specific stations for half marathoners.
Pace runners will be present to help participants target finishing goals. Results are posted online with live and same-day finish-line photos. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation. Age-group recognition includes overall and age-group placings, with awarded pies for top finishers.
