It's official: Brooklyn will be home to a new marathon starting April 24, 2022.
The plans for the new 26.2-mile-long race were approved and made public by city representatives just yesterday, to the delight of plenty of New Yorkers.
The Brooklyn Marathon—which will be the second footrace to take place in New York each year, alongside November's famous New York City Marathon, which is the largest in the world—will tentatively begin at McCarren Park, run down the Williamsburg waterfront towards Prospect Park, Ocean Parkway and Coney Island and then loop back up again. According to preliminary talks, participants will have between six and seven hours to complete the course before streets re-open.

The exact route is still being finalized, but organizers say they are planning for a start in north Brooklyn where runners will jog along the waterfront past the Brooklyn Navy Yard and into Dumbo. They will then make their way to Grand Army Plaza by way of Fulton Street to Flatbush Avenue, where they will have the choice of either finishing the race by taking laps in Prospect Park or continuing on to Coney Island.
