Description

Family and friends have many options to experience the sights and sounds of Brooklyn and cheer you on throughout the 13.1-mile course.

HALFWAY HALFTIME SHOW

Fortunately or unfortunately, this is exactly what the title sounds like. Near the halfway point (Atlantic Ave. at Flatbush Ave.) of the race, our partner Oatly has drummed up a Halftime Show of unhinged entertainment fanfare to celebrate every runner’s race progress and Oatly’s lower climate impact message, as well as to cheer runners on through the race’s 2nd half.

BETTER HALFS COFFEE STATION

Also close to the halfway point of the race, Oatly will be serving free cold brew with Oatly Barista to the runners’ “better halfs” (read: spectators). So tell your friends, family, and random people you bump into at the grocery store. It’s FREE.

OTHER FUN SPOTS TO WATCH FROM

Williamsburg Bridge Area - Take the J or M trains to Marcy Avenue and walk west for some great views.

Dumbo – Ride the F train to York Avenue and take in the cobblestone vibe.

Cadman Plaza - Take the 2/3/4/5/R trains to Court Street/Borough Hall and hang out in front of Brooklyn Borough Hall.

Grand Army Plaza / Eastern Parkway – Your supporters can see you twice here, then head over to the Festival Area and meet you after the race. Take the 2/3 trains to Brooklyn Museum.
