CHCF Hispanic Heritage 5K Run/Walk
The CHCF Hispanic Heritage 5K Run/Walk is a community 5K event held in Astoria Park, Queens, New York, in October and organized by the Committee for Hispanic Children and Families (CHCF). The event supports CHCF’s work to strengthen opportunities for children, youth, and families in New York City.
The 5K course consists of four loops. In person and virtual participation options are available. Virtual participants can log a time and upload up to five photos within the event week; race items for virtual participants begin shipping on the first day of the event.
All in person finishers receive a finisher's medal. Live online, text, and email results are provided, and free finish line photos and same day video are available. Personalized bibs are offered to those registered at least three weeks in advance.
In person bib pickup is handled at the entrance of 24th Avenue and 19th Street. Runners are asked to wear the bib on the mid torso above the belly button, keep it visible, and secure it with four pins or alternative fastening gear. An informal area will be available to leave belongings but the event organization does not assume responsibility for personal items. Bathrooms are a few minutes walk from the start and finish. Hydration is provided at the finish and refreshments are supplied by Waterloo Sparkling Water.
Age group recognition includes top finishers overall and top finishers in age groups 14 and under, 15 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, 60 to 69, 70 to 79, 80 to 89, and 90 plus.
CHCF was founded in 1982 and combines education, capacity building, and advocacy to support low and moderate income children and families across New York City. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
