Traffic and parking restrictions

Beginning at 2:00PM on Saturday, parking is prohibited on the race route. Some streets that feed into the race route will also be affected. Any vehicles parked on the street along the route after 2:00PM on Saturday will be courtesy towed. Towed vehicles will be taken to the closest possible street that is not posted as No Parking.

On Sunday during the race, it won’t be possible to drive on or across the race route. Vehicles approaching the race route will be stopped and turned around one block prior to reaching the street until the course has been cleared of runners and re-opened.

For the full details, head to the marathon’s official Brooklyn traffic and parking impact page.

Neighborhood Cheer Challenge

Each neighborhood is given the opportunity to take over a short stretch of the race course and make it their own. Signage, playing music, and decorations are encouraged that represent our unique neighborhood identity. Make the runners’ experience unforgettable!

On the day following the race, runners receive an email with a link to vote for the neighborhood association that they feel most contributed to their experience. The top five associations will receive a financial donation from the race as well as traveling trophies for display.

Volunteering

Volunteers are needed Sunday! The Friends of Brooklyn Park are seeking 8-10 more volunteers to help at the aid station this Sunday. If you can help email info@friendsofbrooklynpark.org.

Times are between 6:30AM to 1:30PM. Volunteers must be 14 years old and up, or 12 years and up with a family member. Masks are required. Gloves and t-shirt will be provided; let them know your shirt size. This takes place in front of Brooklyn Park.
