Brooklyn Half Starts at Coney Island

NYRR has posted the course description for this year's race, which is as follows and seems to be identical to last year:

"Start on the Coney Island Boardwalk at West 2nd Street. Head west to a turnaround at West 36th Street and proceed east. Exit off West 10th Street and continue east on Surf Avenue to Ocean Parkway. Turn left/north onto Ocean Parkway to Prospect Expressway to Park Circle. Enter Prospect Park at Park Circle and head east on South Lake Drive. Continue around the northern end of the park, returning south on West Drive. Turn left/east onto Hill Drive and left/north onto East Drive. Turn left/west on Central Drive to the finish."

I'm not sure why it took them so long to post the description, but it puts to rest, at least for this year, any thoughts of starting the race in Prospect Park.
