About
Get ready for a 13.1-mile journey through the best of Brooklyn—from the tree-lined roadways in Prospect Park to the legendary Coney Island boardwalk—at the 2026 RBC Brooklyn Half on Saturday, May 16.
Race Details
The excitement begins at the RBC Brooklyn Half Expo Presented by New Balance, where runners come together for course strategy sessions, gear, and more (location will be announced soon). Once you cross the finish line, celebrate your achievement at the RBC Brooklyn Half After-Party at Maimonides Park. Proudly reppin’ Brooklyn since 1981, this is the original half marathon in the Borough of Kings and one of the largest in the country!
