The in-person event takes place at Flushing Meadows Corona Park with parking near the Queens Museum and a walk route toward the Queens Theater.
Amenities include a race tee-shirt and a medal while supplies last, a finish line celebration, snacks and drinks provided by local sponsors, and a free kids fun run. Participants can choose a technicolor experience or a monochrome option.
