Run through a piece of New York history during the Brooklyn Beach Run Half Marathon 10K & 5K, which takes off from Coney Island’s Steeplechase Pier.
You’ll have no trouble finding the starting line for this looped race, which begins and ends beneath the famous Parachute Jump. This 250-foot-tall parachute tower was originally built as an amusement ride for the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
