NYCRUNS Falling Leaves Half Marathon : Prospect Park, Brooklyn (Oct 17, 2026)
The event is a Half Marathon held in Prospect Park, Brooklyn on October 17, 2026. The course is USATF certified and consists of just under four full loops of the park with repeated passages of Center Drive and a final left turn to the finish. Start corrals are pace based (letters AA-F) and located on Well House Drive.
The Festival Area is in the park’s Nethermead and serves as the location for bib pickup, gear check, and shirt distribution on race day. Bib pickup on race day requires a unique QR code; NYCRUNS members may have bibs mailed at no cost and non-members can add mailed bibs for an additional fee. Handcycle and wheelchair athletes are advised not to register for this course because of the number of turns.
