Footsteps For Progress 5K Run/Walk

Footsteps For Progress 5K Run/Walk

Footsteps For Progress is a community 5K Run/Walk organized in support of Queens Centers for Progress. The event offers both in-person and virtual participation and includes a free kids fun run. The format for the event has included a color bash presentation described as a 5K in technicolor with a monochrome option and a finish line celebration.

Participants have received race tee-shirts and medals while supplies last. Snacks and drinks have been provided by local sponsors. Awards have been presented by gender and age group for the top three finishers in each division (19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+), plus top overall male and female and a top wheelchair award.

Bib pickup has been handled in person on race day, with personalized race numbers available to those who register several weeks in advance; a self-lookup area has been used for participants who do not know their bib number. Registrations completed shortly before pickup have been texted bib numbers rapidly, and virtual bibs have been shipped within a window that spans roughly one week before to one week after the event.

Live results have been published online and via email or text, along with same-day finish line photos and video. The beneficiary is Queens Centers for Progress, which provides services and supports to children and adults with developmental disabilities.
