The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series - Brooklyn is a running race on September 12, 2026 in Brooklyn, NY.
From the Organizer
Forget the frantic pace of the race clock and the crowded corrals - The JURCs 2026 10K/10M 5-Borough Series is bringing a different kind of energy to the pavement. From April through September, we’re hosting 5 laid-back, community-first tours of NYC that’s more about the miles and the memories than the podium. Whether you’re looking to cruise through a scenic 10K or stretch your legs with a steady 10-Miler.
No timing chips, no pressure, just great routes, better company, and a shared journey toward those running goals.
Next Boro up in the series is Brooklyn! Please meet us outside by the McCarren Park Tennis Courts on Bedford Avenue by 7:00 AM; wheels up (and feet moving!) at 7:30 AM sharp.
Parking: You will need to park near McCarren Park.
The Courses: Both options will run along the water on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn before splitting for their distances:
10K Option: Head out along Kent Avenue in Willy-B to the Fort Greene neighborhood. Turn around and back to the park alongside of Kent Avenue to McCarren Park. (Link to course);
10-Miler Option: Head out along Kent Avenue in Willy-B and then making your way down to the Brooklyn Bridge area (Cadman Plaza Park) and back to McCarren Park. (Link to course)
Note: This will not be a race, but instead a collaborative long run. To keep things low-key and focused on the miles, we will NOT be providing bibs or timing the run. We encourage everyone to track their own miles on Strava or Garmin.
Exact Meeting Location: McCarren Park Tennis Courts on Bedford Avenue
5-Borough Series T-Shirts will be available after the run.
