More than 20,000 runners are flooding the streets Sunday for the 10th annual Brooklyn Marathon and Half Marathon, which is being run on a brand new course this year, reported BKMag.com.
There will be many street closures to accommodate the 26.2-mile race. The route begins in Williamsburg, snakes through the waterfront, continues through Crown Heights and Gravesend then ends in Prospect Park, they reported.
Non-runners will be affected with parking changes and blocked off streets. Closures will be done in waves to accommodate the different paces of runners and begin at 1 a.m. early Sunday and last to about 2 p.m.
Eastern Parkway, from Grand Army Plaza to Brooklyn Avenue will be closed to traffic from 5 am to 2 pm, and closed to parking until 2 pm Sunday.
If you will be driving in Brooklyn, be aware that parts of major thoroughfares will be blocked off, including Bedford Ave. and Kent Ave. in Williamsburg, Flushing Ave. near the Navy Yards, various streets in Dumbo including Front St. and Water St., Flatbush Ave. in Prospect Heights and large parts of Eastern Parkway and Ocean Parkway.
