Here are the specific sections of the United Airlines NYC Half where the climbs are based on recent elevation data and runner reports:

Notable climbs
# Prospect Park hills early There are small climbs inside or near Prospect Park at the start. Park terrain is not flat and includes short upward sections early in the first few miles.

# Brooklyn Bridge climb The biggest single climb on the course is the Brooklyn Bridge rise starting shortly after about mile 4, continuing into mile 5 as you go up onto and across the bridge.

# Rolling uphill sections after the bridge After descending the bridge, there are rolling climbs (short uphill grades) roughly around miles 6 through 9. These are not as steep as the bridge but represent most of the ascent in that segment.

# Minor uphill inside Central Park near the finish The final section into Central Park has small rolling climbs as you enter the park and approach the finish. These are much milder but noticeable late in the race.
