Running the BKLYN MILE is like getting shot out of a cannon and falling into a mosh pit. But in an exhilarating way. Personal bests abound for experienced runners, and it’s a unique opportunity for beginners and/or back-of-the-packers to experience a unique trip along Williamsburg’s main artery. Set a goal for yourself this summer, or bet with your friends as to how fast you can run the one-mile distance starting from South 10th Street, coursing along Kent Avenue, under the Williamsburg Bridge, and onward through the heart of North Brooklyn to end at North 9th Street.
