Queens is all about diversity. It’s NYC’s second most populous borough with 2.3 M people living in a community with the highest rate of racial and ethnic variety of all populous counties in the nation. So, there is no better way to start and finish a race in Queens, NYC than through Flushing Meadows Park. You’ll run past the Unisphere on a relatively flat and fast course with two small uphill sections when you cross an overpass. The views from the overpass are so beautiful that you’ll hardly notice.

This race ran smoothly. There were three distances (half, 10k, and 5k). Everyone ran on the same loop but there were volunteers who helped with traffic control and runners. There was great energy from start to finish in Flushing Meadows Park!
