Brooklyn is a city of runners. It is home to Airbnb's Brooklyn Half Marathon, one of the largest half marathons in Brooklyn. If you want to experience running in Brooklyn, a great place to start is Prospect Park. There is a large loop that goes around the park, which is quite popular with runners. How long is the Prospect Park loop?
If you're jogging, biking, or just walking through Prospect Park, and you want to know how far you're going, it's good to know that the full loop of the park (along the park trail) is 3.35 miles. The distance around the perimeter of the park (along the surrounding sidewalks) is 3.75 miles. There is a designated bike path, so you won't have to worry about colliding with a cyclist.
Looking for a running group in Prospect Park? You may want to consider joining the Brooklyn Road Runners Club or the Prospect Park Track Club.
