The Brooklyn Queens Brewery Express Half Marathon

The Brooklyn Queens Brewery Express Half Marathon takes place on June 12, 2027, in New York, with an unusual 5:00 p.m. start. The half marathon (13.1 mi) runs an entirely urban course through Brooklyn and Queens. No elevation gain is listed.

An evening half changes the whole day: you eat two or three proper meals beforehand instead of forcing down breakfast in the dark, but you also arrive at the start line with a day's fatigue behind you. Rehearse it — run one hard session in the late afternoon in the weeks before, at the same hour, and you will know what to eat and when rather than guessing on race day.
