Chat with Popular Brooklyn Half Finishers

“I liked the cheerleaders on the course. That made me feel good! And the check in process was really smooth, and that there were enough port-a-potties in the corrals. And I liked that there were a lot at mile one too. It was a great day and the weather was amazing!”

Emera, Manhattan.

“I’ve been a New York Road Runners member for a long time. Today was my 150th NYRR race after turning 52. My favorite thing about the race today was how we had really nice weather, but it was also organized really well for the finish. So when you finished the people giving you the medal, the people giving you the water, were all really good. And the baggage claim also worked like a charm. I stepped up and in 90 seconds I had my bag. So it was great!”

Dempsey, Manhattan.

“My favorite part of the race was finishing! It was amazing. I saw some people with disabilities finish with me and it was so inspiring. I just had a great time with my friends, and I got a PR!”
