Join us for our first winter series event and our last Brooklyn race of the 2023 season! New this year is the half marathon distance - for those who want the finish line cocoa to taste that much sweeter.

The NYCRUNS Cocoa Classic Half Marathon & 5K takes on the classic USTAF-certified Prospect Park course we know and love (yes, even the hill on East Drive). After you Win Your Race, head to a well-deserved brunch at any of the great neighborhood spots within walking distance!

Schedule:

Event Begins - 7:00 AM
Half - 9:00 AM
5K - 9:00 AM

Course Information:

The USATF-Certified half marathon course is comprised of just under 4 full loops (3.25 hills) of the park and a final sprint down Center Drive. This means that you will pass Center Drive 3x and then make one final left turn to the finish. The 5K course subtracts three of those loops
