About
The Less Popular Half Marathon takes place in Brooklyn, New York, in early May. It is a 13.1-mile road race, run on an urban course through the streets of the borough, so plan for city pavement, turns and the usual stop-and-go of a big-city morning. Spring weather in New York can swing from chilly at the start line to warm by the finish, which makes dressing in layers you can shed an easy win.
Brooklyn gives you plenty to do once the race is over. Brooklyn Bridge Park looks across to the Manhattan skyline, Prospect Park was designed by the same team behind Central Park, and the Brooklyn Museum, the historic Grimaldi's pizzeria and the boardwalk at Coney Island are all within reach.
