About 200 runners completed the tenth Brooklyn Queens Brewery Express Half Marathon, the unsanctioned race organized by Queens Rebels Run Crew, in Ridgewood.
Roughly 200 runners ran 13.1 miles from a Ridgewood side street through Brooklyn and Queens on Saturday, June 13, closing out the tenth edition of the Brooklyn Queens Brewery Express Half Marathon with a finisher’s medal, a limited-edition pint glass and a slice of pizza at the end. QNS covered the race.
The BQBE Half Marathon is unsanctioned. It runs without official permits, road closures or governing-body backing. There are no closed streets. Runners ran through open city blocks, following volunteers stationed at turns and refilling at aid stations along the way.
The Queens Rebels Run Crew organizes the race. It started at 78-60 73rd Pl. From there the course ran through Myrtle Avenue, Bushwick Avenue and Jamaica Avenue, through Glendale, Ridgewood, Bushwick, East New York, Jamaica, Woodhaven and Richmond Hill before finishing at Bridge and Tunnel Brewery in Ridgewood. The 5 p.m. start meant runners went out into heat above 85 degrees, carrying hydration bottles and energy gels.
