About the race
The NYC Holiday Classic is a festive running event held at Fort Hamilton, the oldest active military base in the U.S., located in Brooklyn, New York. Participants can choose from 13.1, 6.2, or 3.1-mile distances, running past historic fort walls with scenic views of the Verrazano Bridge and NYC skyline. The race encourages holiday spirit with runners dressing as characters like Santa or the Grinch.
The course features multiple water stations and live timing with split tracking. Amenities include a technical race shirt, finisher medal, and awards for top finishers. Access requires federal ID due to the military base location, ensuring a unique and secure race experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
