The course
Course description
A one lap course starting on Pier 1 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Participants head in a northerly direction towards Brooklyn Bridge and at the end of the pier, take two right turns and head south through the park on the Greenway. On the way out, the course loops around Piers 2, 3, 5 and 6. At the end of Pier 6, the course follows the Greenway straight back to Pier 1. At the end of the Greenway, turn left on to the tree-lined path up a short hill before finishing in front of the Granite Prospect steps, with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline.
On the course
The course is 5k long. The course is at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Brooklyn. The course is run entirely on permanent paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.
Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.
Facilities
Toilets are available at the Pier 1 Pavillion. Brooklyn Bridge Park has various play parks, sports facilities, as well as a dog run.
More details
Public transport
Subway: The closest subway station is High Street on the A/C lines, or Clark Street on the 2/3 lines (each about a 15 minute walk to the start). Subway lines 4/5, F and R, and bus routes B25, B61, B63 and B67 also run close.
Ferry: You can also take the NYC Ferry to Fulton Ferry Landing for a 5 minute walk to the start.
On foot
The course starts on Pier 1, which is easily accessible by foot. When entering the park, head towards the East River and follow the water (with the Brooklyn Bridge behind you) to the start.
By road
The start is located close to Furnham Street, close to the BQE and the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Parking is very limited, and so taking public transportation, biking, or walking is highly recommended. There are limited metered parking spaces in a public parking lot on Furman Street near Pier 2. There also are two paid parking lots in the park - one located near Pier 6, accessible on the south side of 360 Furman Street, and a second operated by LAZ near Pier 1, accessible on the south side of 90 Furman Street (under Squibb Bridge).

Course safety
Brooklyn Bridge parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:
- Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
- Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
- Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
- We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
- Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
- Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
- Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
- If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
- If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
- It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
- Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. Consider protecting yourself by wearing repellent when at parkrun events in grassy or wooded areas. See lymediseaseuk.com for further details.
- You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
- parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.
We hope these tips help to ensure that Brooklyn Bridge parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
