About This Race
The Prospect Park Trail Run 5K offers runners a chance to experience Brooklyn's crown jewel through its network of trails and paths. Set within Prospect Park's 526 acres, this race provides an urban trail running experience that feels remarkably removed from the surrounding city. The course takes advantage of the park's varied terrain, winding through wooded areas and around the park's scenic features. As a 5K distance, this event serves as an accessible introduction to trail running for those transitioning from road racing, while still providing enough challenge to engage experienced trail runners. Note that this event appears to be inactive based on the available data, with registration information pointing to archived listings. Runners interested in similar experiences should verify current status and look for alternative trail running opportunities in the Prospect Park area.
