Those who participate in the Brooklyn Half Marathon help NYRR by funding its programs, which are offered free of charge to youth and those in need. Programs include Open Run, NYRR Striders, and Rising New York Road Runners. For more information about these programs or details about this year's race, visit www.nyrr.org.
