Join your VCTC team and other local runners on a bus from the Bronx to the start of the Brooklyn Half! ONE WAY ONLY this year (you’ll have to make your own way back from Coney Island to the Bronx) Departure from the Bronx: Location : handball courts on Broadway just south of 242nd street subway stop * Time : 4:30-4:45 check-in; 5:00 am SHARP departure or as soon as everyone is checked in Price: One way $30 VCTC members $35 nonmembers *please note that parking along Broadway near departure location on Saturdays is tricky because even though you don’t have to pay the meters, there is no parking 7:00-7:30 for street cleaning. You can park farther north on Broadway past the subway entrance and meters..but give yourself extra time to find parking if you intend to drive to the bus.
