NYRR Beyond the Finish Line at the 2026 RBC Brooklyn Half
Each year, thousands race through the best of Brooklyn at the RBC Brooklyn Half, a 13.1-mile journey from the tree-lined roads of Prospect Park through vibrant neighborhoods and onto Ocean Parkway. With supporters and entertainment along the course, the race builds to an unforgettable finish at the iconic Coney Island Boardwalk, complete with the ocean breeze, electric energy, and finisher medals.
New York Road Runners is partnering with New York City's top cultural institutions to create a unique mix of experiences for RBC Brooklyn Half runners and their friends and families—experiences that transcend the course and finish line. The program strengthens NYRR's relationships with cultural institutions throughout the five boroughs and builds awareness of offerings and programming, while launching exclusive offers for our runners and NYRR members.
These offerings include:
- Free or discounted admissions to cultural institutions
- Exclusive "behind the scenes" access or private tours of top attractions
- Meet-and-greet opportunities with professional athletes, notable runners, and industry leaders
- Exclusive access and admission discounts for NYRR members
