Brooklyn PTA Fun Run for Schools

Brooklyn PTA Fun Run for Schools is held in Brooklyn, New York, on October 24, 2026. The run covers 3.3 miles and starts at 9:00 a.m., which is a slightly longer distance than the usual 5K and a friendly hour for a city race, leaving time to travel across the borough and still warm up before the start.

At 3.3 miles the effort sits close to 5K territory, so pace it as you would a 5K rather than easing into it like a longer run. It is a good target for someone building a first race into the autumn: a month of steady running, three or four days a week, with one session at a harder effort, will get you comfortably to the finish. If you are already fit, treat the extra distance beyond 5K as a chance to hold a strong pace a few minutes longer.
