Experience the spirit of endurance running in Brooklyn with the PPTC Endurance Fest! This event offers runners the unique opportunity to tackle either 50 miles or 50 kilometers on a scenic loop course within Prospect Park. Drawing inspiration from NYC’s rich tradition of road ultras, such as the Knickerbocker 60k and Metropolitan 50 Mile races, this fest celebrates the city's legacy of pushing boundaries. The race starts and finishes at Lincoln Road Entrance to Prospect Park, where runners will embark on a series of loops through picturesque trails. The course consists of either nine or fifteen laps, each covering approximately 3.33 miles. As you loop around the park, you’ll enjoy the lush greenery, serene lakes, and historic landmarks that make this urban oasis so special. All finishers can look forward to receiving a distinctive sweet finisher buckle as a memento of their achievement. Hydration stations along the course will feature Skratch Labs products to keep runners fueled throughout the event. Participants are encouraged to contribute one shareable item for a potluck-style aid station, fostering a sense of community among all racers. With a generous 15-hour cut-off time, this race is not only ideal for seasoned ultramarathon enthusiasts but also serves as an inviting entry point for those new to the ultra-distance scene. Join us in Brooklyn and embrace the challenge while immersing yourself in one of New York City's most iconic parks. Experience the blend of history, community, and endurance at PPTC Endurance Fest – a celebration of running’s finest traditions right here in Prospect Park.
