The race has developed a real community feel for it where a large number of local athletes enjoy their time together in a formal setting. Many of Brooklyn's multisport athletes enjoy racing in what is considered their primary training grounds for biking and running. For those who have not experienced Brooklyn this is a great way to see why this Park is the backbone of the great community of Brooklyn.
