Overview
The Queens 5K & 10K and Half Marathon takes place at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, staged near the Unisphere β which makes it one of the more iconic settings for a road race in the New York metro area. The park is massive, flat, and well-suited for racing, and the Unisphere backdrop gives it a finish-line atmosphere that most community 5Ks can’t match.
Both distances start at 8 AM on May 3. The 10K gives you a longer look at the park and the surrounding course, while the 5K keeps it quick and accessible for all paces. The park is easily reachable by subway, which takes the parking question off the table entirely.
Full course details and awards structure aren’t published yet on the registration page β check the race website closer to the date for the complete picture.
