THE RACE
Join us as we return to Prospect Park for a wonderful spring 5K & 10 Miler benefitting CAMBA. What a great way to kick off the countdown to the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Half Marathon!
Please note the 10 miler was previously an untimed training run. It is now a proper race.
BENEFITING CAMBA
When you register for the race, you'll have the opportunity to donate to CAMBA. CAMBA is one of the city’s largest and most trusted community-based organizations helping over 65,000 people a year. Your support helps CAMBA feed the hungry, prevent homelessness, build more affordable and supportive housing, and through our college access programs, give low-income youth a solid foundation for their future. CAMBA emphasizes building economic stability by offering a variety of targeted services and resources, including adult literacy classes, job readiness and placement services.
For example:
$100 provides food to a hungry family for a week.
$250 provides textbooks to a class of immigrants to learn English and access jobs.
$500 supports college prep classes for low-income youth.
$1,000 helps provide legal services for families at risk of eviction and homelessness.
Your support helps transform lives and together we can build a better and brighter future for our communities.
THE COURSE
The 5K course is comprised of just under one full loop. The 10 Miler add two loops and a bit of distance on Wellhouse Drive.
All NYCRUNS courses are USATF-certified.
