The Brooklynite Fall 10K & 5K
The event offers in-person and virtual options for 5K and 10K distances, with start and finish at the American Veteran Memorial Pier in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The in-person courses run along the shore: the 5K is one loop and the 10K is two loops. Mile markers are placed every mile. U-turn points are located roughly 1.55 to 1.59 miles from the start.
Participants receive a bib with an attached timing chip and must wear the bib on the front torso for official timing. Timing mats record each loop and results are uploaded live. Organizers use live digital tracking and streaming so spectators can follow progress remotely. The Race Joy app is used for auditory guidance, mile markers, pacing, and live tracking; it requires participants to carry a phone.
Water and electrolyte gels are available at three table locations on the loop; these are self-serve with sealed bottles. A personal items area is provided for bag drop, secured and managed by volunteers; baggage check is limited and available on request. Headphones are not allowed on the course. Parking is available on Shore Parkway. Awards include finisher medals and technical t-shirts for all finishers, overall awards for the top three male and female, and age group awards for listed age bands.
