The Classic Apple Pie HM & 5K at Veterans Pier, Brooklyn
The Classic Apple Pie HM & 5K takes place on October 10, 2026 at Veterans Pier in Brooklyn. The event offers both an in-person Half Marathon and a 5K, plus virtual options with a one-week window to record results and upload up to five photos.
- Half Marathon
- 5K
Both courses run along a paved boardwalk. The 5K is a single out-and-back loop along the shore with a U-turn at the 5K sign. The Half Marathon is four loops with two U-turns; participants must pass both turnaround checkpoints each loop for accurate split and finish times. Wheelchair participants are welcome but the course has several tight 180 degree turns that may not suit all wheelchair racers. Organizers list a 2 hour 45 minute cutoff.
Amenities include informal bag check, bathrooms a short walk from the start and finish, hydration at the finish line, and water or refreshment stations for Half Marathoners at the U-turn nearest the start and at the start/finish. All in-person finishers receive a finisher medal and T shirt; fresh apples and a mini apple pie are distributed to participants. Pacers are provided for both distances. A bib mailing option is available for an additional fee. Registration fees are non refundable. A portion of proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation.
