Brooklyn’s bucolic Green-Wood Cemetery will be open to joggers for six hours on Friday.

The historic cemetery is accommodating runners who may be inconvenienced by the closure of parts of Prospect Park due to President Barack Obama’s visit to Brooklyn Friday.

Joggers will be allowed inside Green-Wood from noon to 6 p.m. this Friday only. Runners are normally prohibited from cemetery grounds.
