Another epic experience to join us and hundreds of visitors from the armed forces here for Fleet Week NYC.

A mostly flat and fast course and awesome medals, shirts, awards, and post event grub. Ahoy!! Let's do this!! Race up to and under the longest suspension bridge in the Americas and put your running season into full gear. The course is well marked, super flat, and easy to manage so get ready to post your fastest time ever. Get there by car, bike, foot, subway, or bus. Support stations will be available at every 1.5 miles with water, Gatorade, and gel packs for you to "grab and go". Afterward, dig into Brooklyn's best bagels, fruits, and drinks as we celebrate with a classy photo session and awards ceremony. Photographs and Video posted on the day of the event. This includes your finish line video. Technical T-Shirt & big and beautiful finisher's medal handed out after the race.
