The Brooklyn Fall
The Brooklyn Fall is a CityTri Runs event at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY, offering three race distances on a closed, tree‑covered park drive. The course is a rolling loop with about 140 feet of climbing on every lap; each distance uses the same loop with a different lap count.
Distances
- Half marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The course runs on the park main drive, closed to cars for the morning and sharing the road with a bike lane; runners are asked to stay in the runner's lane. Water stations are placed three times per loop and supply water, Gatorade, and gels.
Logistics include race‑day only bib pickup (bring the check‑in code from confirmation), bag check, limited portable toilets at the start area, and pre‑race announcements. Each distance passes through the finish arch a set number of times: the half passes through four times, the 10K twice, and the 5K once.
Timing and results use professional chip timing with live results and splits posted as participants finish. Free personalized race photos and video are posted to participant pages. Finishers receive a medal and a tech shirt, and simple postrace food is provided. Awards include plaques for overall top three men and women and medals for top three in each age group.
Participants must wear their bib on the front, complete the half marathon within three hours, be at least six years old, sign required waivers, start in assigned waves, and follow equipment rules that prohibit coaches, baby‑joggers, bikes, dogs, in‑line skates, and skateboards.
