The Experience

With the famous  NYC Marathon right around the corner come test those legs and see just how well your form is coming along.  This flat and fast course along the Shore Road Promenade in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn is perfect for setting those PRs.  It offers some of the city’s most breathtaking views of the Verrazano Bridge, Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.   Trimara Sports 7 Week Training Guide Bib pick up will be held exclusively on race day and will be from 6:30 until 7:30.  Please do not wait until the last minute so that we can be sure we start the race on time.  Come early, get your race day materials and have plenty of time for your pre race warm ups and routines.  Baggage check will be located adjacent to bib pickup.    The #BayRidgeHalf will be a spectator friendly multi-loop course along one of NYC’s finest waterfronts.  You will be completing three 4.36 mile loops of the Shore Road Promenade in Bay Ridge.  You will have fluid stations roughly every mile so there is plenty of opportunity to stay hydrated. The finish line will be back at the American Veterans Memorial Pier where you can collect your FINISHER MEDALS and bask in your accomplishments – It is impossible to get lost.  The course support will remain open for 3 hours. After you all kick butt in the half marathon and collect your FINISHER MEDALS we will provide bagels, chips, cookies and water at the finish line. Don’t rush home just yet… maybe you placed in your age group, wait for your award!     Thanks for choosing Trimara Sports and we look forward to racing with you at the Bay Ridge Half Marathon.  The Race Guys
