“What a race! The RBC Brooklyn Half on Saturday, “What a race! The RBC Brooklyn Half on Saturday, May 20, was the largest half marathon in the United States this year, with nearly 26,000 runners crossing the finish line in Coney Island. 

Top finishers in the 13.1-mile event included Yenew Alamirew Getahun, who broke the men’s event record with a winning time of 1:03:07. Maggie Montoya won the women’s race in 1:11:38. In a new category this year, Galo Vasquez won the non-binary division, setting an event-record time of 1:12:07.”

“The blazingly exuberant Hungry March Band kicke “The blazingly exuberant Hungry March Band kicked off Montague Street’s first Open Streets of the summer season on Saturday. The madcap marching band, first conceived at Coney Island’s Mermaid Parade, set the tone for the all-day party on Brooklyn Heights’ main shopping and dining strip.”

“BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A downpour didn’t preven “BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — A downpour didn’t prevent a crowd of Brooklyn residents, community organizers and officials from gathering under umbrellas on Saturday to demand safety improvements to one of the city’s most dangerous streets, Atlantic Avenue.

The mood was somber as friends and relatives tearfully shared their memories of the thoroughfare’s most recent victim, Katherine Harris. Harris, 31, was mowed down two weeks ago by an alleged drunken driver — Bensonhurst resident Erick Taxilaga Trujillo, 27 — who sped through a red light on Atlantic Avenue at Clinton Street.”
