The RBC Brooklyn Half, featuring 28,500 runners, illustrates New York City's ethnic and physical diversity, showcasing values of equality and opportunity. This year's event, sponsored by RBC, concluded with notable performances, including victories by Mulgeta Birhanu Feyissa in the men's race and Felicia Pasadyn in the women's category. The race also highlighted inclusivity with a nonbinary division winner, Galo Vasquez. In support of Mental Health Awareness Month, RBC made donations based on social media engagement, reinforcing the event's commitment to community well-being and acceptance.
The RBC Brooklyn Half was a microcosm of people being accepted and embraced simply for who they are, irrespective of the color of their skin, religious faith, or disability.
Close to 28,500 athletes took part in the 13.1 mile race that began in Prospect Park and ended in Coney Island, reflecting New York City's diversity.
