The start will once again be located next to the Brooklyn Museum. Participants will run past the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and around Grand Army Plaza before entering Prospect Park. After a loop around the park, runners will exit from the southwest corner onto Ocean Parkway and cruise toward the finish on the world-famous Coney Island Boardwalk.
Mile 1: Start by heading south on Washington Avenue. Turn right onto Empire Boulevard then right onto Flatbush Avenue heading north. Grand Army Plaza marks mile 1.5.
Mile 2: Proceed around Grand Army Plaza. Once you're heading south on Flatbush Avenue, you've reached mile 2.
Mile 3: Take a right turn onto Ocean Avenue, then another right onto Parkside Avenue.
Mile 4: From Parkside Avenue, proceed into Prospect Park at Machate Circle onto East Drive.
Miles 5-6: Runners will make a full counter-clockwise loop of Prospect Park before exiting at Machate Circle. Exiting marks you past the 10K mark.
Mile 7: Head south down Fort Hamilton Parkway onto Ocean Parkway.
Miles 8-12: Proceed onto Ocean Parkway and head south towards Coney Island.
Mile 13-Finish: Take a right as Ocean Parkway turns into Surf Avenue. Take a left on W 10th Street towards the Coney Island Boardwalk. A sidewalk ramp will take runners up onto the Coney Island Boardwalk where they will make a right towards the finish before W 15th Street.
As in previous years, NYRR will transport personal nursing pumps from the start to the finish area for athletes. For the RBC Brooklyn Half, there will be lactation spaces that provide pumping accommodations and amenities at the start line, course, and finish line. Medela breast pumps will also be available, giving participants easy options for pumping. Personal breast pumps will be transported from the start to the finish lactation tents. No expressed milk will be transported at this time.
Lactation operations will be located near the start medical tent on Eastern Parkway and Washington Avenue, the medical tent near mile 8, and the finish medical tent in the Maimonides Park parking lot.
To ensure runners are aware of the accommodations and preparation for medical device operations, NYRR will have an information booth at the RBC Brooklyn Half Pre-Party.
The NYRR Pace Team members are some of the most experienced runners in New York City and the most knowledgeable runners on the course. They have an average success rate of 96.5% of hitting their target finish time. Pacers will be on hand to guide participants toward specific goal times over the 13.1 miles. Pace Team members will lead groups at various paces between 6:06 per mile and 13:45 per mile (between a 1:20 finish and a 3:00 finish).
If you choose to run with a pace group, you can look for the NYRR Pace Team members in the start corrals wearing their blue-and-white-striped NYRR Pace Team singlets. Each Team member will carry signs that correspond with their respective finish times and paces. There is no fee to run with the pace team or to sign up.
