About the RACE FOR RECONCILIATION

One of Brooklyn’s most popular races, this spectacular 5-miler is the perfect way to kick off your holiday season!  The race will be held on Thanksgiving Day: Thursday, November 23rd in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Like last year, we will assign participants into two waves, based on your estimated pace, starting at 8:15am and 9:00am. You may join the later wave to run with others, but you cannot move from the later wave to the earlier. Those wishing to compete for an overall 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place (winners will receive a pie!) must be in the first wave.

This year marks our second year partnering with the American Indian Community House (AICH) whose mission is to improve and promote the well-being of the American Indian Community and to increase the visibility of American Indian cultures in an urban setting in order to cultivate awareness, understanding and respect.

• Prospect Park Track Club welcomes athletes with all abilities, and if you have questions about race accommodations, please email us turkey@pptc.org.
• Races will take place rain or shine. Any decision to cancel due to dangerous weather conditions will be announced the morning of the race, and will be messaged through email, PPTC social media, and updates on this website.

The course will close at precisely 10:40am in order to return the park to the public and relieve all of the volunteers. All participants are expected to complete the 5-mile course by the cutoff time.
