The Brooklyn Half Marathon has been reported as "hands down the best" and "a grand race" in a Runner's World survey of half-marathons. In the past three years, the race has doubled in size. When registration for the Brooklyn Half Marathon opened on Friday, February 15, it sold out in just hours. Registration is $55 for NYRR members and $75 for non-NYRR members.
Volunteer registration for the Brooklyn Half Marathon will also launch next Wednesday. NYRR is offering guaranteed, non-complimentary entry to next year's Brooklyn Half Marathon for all volunteers.
