Good to know

A ghost tour that covers the start of the route, and a way to shorten the run.

Haunted Brooklyn Heights tour

Runs in October · about 2 hours, 1.3 miles · $40

A guided ghost tour that meets at the Henry Ward Beecher statue in Cadman Plaza and ends near Clinton St and Atlantic Ave, close to the first three stops of this run. The tour page listed only "October" for dates, so check the booking link for 2026 availability.

The short version, about 3 miles

Skip the Old Stone House

Run Plymouth Church, the Lovecraft house, the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel, Fort Greene Park and the Naval Cemetery, and skip the long loop south to Park Slope. That drops the run from about 5 miles to about 3. The Old Stone House is the stop to skip, and it is also the only one with limited hours (Friday to Sunday, noon to 4 PM).
