NYRR Half-Marathon: Brooklyn

This Saturday 3rd May the Marathon Man will be participating in the New York Road Runners Half-Marathon Grand Prix from the world-famous Coney Island for a dramatic start on the boardwalk. The flat, fast course leads inland along Ocean Parkway before the finish in beautiful Prospect Park.

The Brooklyn Half-Marathon course will start on the Coney Island Boardwalk at West 2nd Street. Head west to a turnaround at West 36th Street and proceed east. Exit off West 10th Street and continue east on Surf Avenue to Ocean Parkway. Turn left/north onto Ocean Parkway to Prospect Expressway to Park Circle. Enter Prospect Park at Park Circle and head east on South Lake Drive. Continue around the northern end of the park, returning south on West Drive. Turn left/east onto Hill Drive and left/north onto East Drive. Turn left/west on Central Drive to the finish.

This sure will be a great way to start the day following my 35th birthday celebrations the night before ... Wish me luck!
