Event details
The Classic Apple Pie Half Marathon and 5K takes place on October 11, 2025 at Veterans Pier in Brooklyn, NY (Shore Rd & Bay Ridge Ave, 11209). The event offers in-person and virtual options for both distances. Distances:
- Half Marathon
- 5K
Registration fees vary by option and date. Virtual participants may record and upload times and photos from October 11 to October 19. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Course and amenities
The 5K is a one-loop out-and-back along the shore with a marked U-turn. The half marathon is four loops with two U-turns; runners must pass both turnaround checkpoints on each loop for accurate splits. Wheelchair participants are welcome, but the course includes several tight 180-degree turns that may limit suitability. Both events have a 2:45 hour cutoff.
Amenities include a finisher medal and T-shirt, Table Talk pies for all finishers, fresh apples, hydration and refreshments provided by event partners, informal bag check, and nearby bathrooms within a few minutes walk. Public transportation is encouraged; public street parking on Bay Ridge Ave or Shore Road is limited. Age-group recognition is announced for multiple age brackets, and overall top finishers receive a pie. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
