2025 Virtual RBC Brooklyn Half Guide
The borough of Brooklyn is one that is steeped in tradition. A place where you can still get that perfect New York slice for $2.50 before planning a run anywhere across the nearly 30 miles of the Borough of Kings shoreline.
Share in that tradition and finish on your own Coney Island Boardwalk in the Virtual RBC Brooklyn Half Powered by Strava. Run the race anywhere and anytime between May 10 and May 18.
Learn more about how you can participate below and set a reminder for registration opening on February 7 at 12 p.m. ET. Registration is open through May 18.
