This race may be renamed, as due to some city drama, BUT, this race is worth it. Having Run both NYRR RBC Brooklyn Half and NYC RUNS Brooklyn Half, I'm torn on which is better, but regardless the fans won't let you down. The vibe is amazing . The Expo was small, but they had an expo. I would suggest paying the extra to have your bib shipped and it did get a bit chaotic.
This race has 22K runners in it. It is huge, but didn't feel like it was huge. As far as crowds ringing g, it had the same feel as the Boston Half (7K). Not too crowded. The corrals and spacing was good. We started where we should be seeded, and were able to run our pace, which is very hard in a big race. All three of us were able to run our pace.
Run through Brooklyn, under the Williamsburg, Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. Past the Barkley center and through historic Brooklyn.
