About the race
The Brooklyn Fall is a road race held in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, NY on November 8, 2026. Registration for this edition is closed and the event is at maximum capacity. Distances for the event include: - Half marathon: four loops; 3.02 mi opener, three 3.36 mi laps. - 10K: two loops; 2.84 mi opener and one 3.36 mi lap. - 5K: one loop; 3.1 mi start to finish. The course uses the main drive of Prospect Park, closed to cars for the morning and shaded by trees for most of its length. The route is a rolling loop with about 140 feet of climbing on every lap.
Each distance follows the same loop a different number of times. Race logistics include race day bib pickup only, bag check, portable toilets at the start, and pre-race announcements. Bib pickup and the finish line are at the same location; participants walk up the course to their flagged start areas. Runners must stay in the runner's lane where the course shares the road with a bike lane.
Water stations appear three times per loop and provide water, Gatorade, and gels. Post-race items include a finisher medal, a tech shirt, snacks and drinks, and an awards ceremony with plaques for overall top finishers and medals for age group places. Chip timing, live results, and free participant photos and video are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
