[edit]Brooklyn Marathon
[edit]Overview
[edit]The Brooklyn Marathon is an NYCRUNS race that debuted in 2011[1] which was held in the fall with the main course centered around Prospect Park. [2] The race generated enough support that plans for new courses began in 2013. [3] The Brooklyn Marathon returned in 2022 following the COVID-19 pandemic with a new course that goes from Williamsburg to Prospect Park and also added a half marathon on the same day.[4][5]The 2022 race had $100,000 total in prize money and the winners of each category were: From New York City, the winner of the non-binary field was Jake Caswell; From Ethiopia, the winner of the women's field was Hirut Guangul. From New York City, the winner of the men's field was Aaron Mora. [6] The marathon also had the largest nonbinary group[7] with a total of 82 finishers which also includes the half-marathon. [8]
