Global Kids 5K Run/Walk

Global Kids’ annual 5K Run/Walk is a community event held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, with the Unisphere / Center Area used for the start and finish near the Queens Theatre and behind the Queens Museum. Registration for the listed event date is not yet open; registration typically opens ahead of the event date.

Amenities for registered participants include event T-shirts, race bibs and timing chips for timed entries, participation medals, and complimentary event swag. Results are published live online, by email, and by text, and same-day finish line photos and free video are available.

Awards are given for top finishers and contributions, including top two male and female overall, top male and female in age groups (14 & under; 15-19; open 20-39; masters 40+), best team spirit, and top fundraiser.

Bib pickup is handled by event staff starting one hour before the event; a bib number is required for pickup and personalized bibs are available for those who register at least three weeks in advance. Self Lookup or Bib Lookup options are provided and last-minute registrants can receive a bib number by text within about 90 seconds.

The event supports Global Kids’ year-round programs in New York City and Washington, D.C., which focus on academic achievement, college and career readiness, social-emotional learning and global citizenship. Global Kids serves more than 14,000 students each year. The closest subway access is Mets-Willets Point; registration takes place in front of the Queens Museum, about a ten-minute walk from that exit.
