Another epic experience to join us and hundreds of visitors from the armed forces here for Fleet Week NYC. The NYC Bay is the perfect setting for a half marathon, 10K, or 5K with views of the NYC Skyline, Verrazano Bridge, and the historic grounds of Fort Hamilton. 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.

About This Sport
From Endurance Grid's Founder
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The half marathon is the distance where you find out what you're actually made of. Long enough to demand real preparation. Short enough that it doesn't consume your life to train for it. Most people who run their first half describe it as the race that changed their relationship with what they're capable of. Once you cross this finish line, the bar moves. That's not a warning — that's the point.
Race day energy varies by event size, but the finish line feeling is the same regardless. Big races keep the noise going the whole way. Smaller races give you stretches where it's just you and the miles — and that solitude becomes its own kind of fuel.
The half marathon rewards people who show up for the boring training miles.
How long to train: 10–14 weeks. If you're already running consistently, 10 weeks of structured buildup is enough. If you're building from a casual base, give yourself 14.
Running
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
