Jamaica Q 5K Walk/Run : September 26, 2026
The Jamaica Q 5K Walk/Run is a community road event held in Jamaica, Queens on September 26, 2026. The event uses a USATF-certified 5K course that highlights Downtown Jamaica’s commercial corridors and several historic neighborhood landmarks. The start and finish are located at York College (Performing Arts Center parking lot), and the course returns to the college.
Amenities listed for participants include a race day T-shirt and finisher medal, water stations, porta potties, and free mobile lockers while supplies last. Race organizers provide live online, email, and text results plus same-day finish line photos and free video.
Awards are given to the top three overall finishers in male, female, and X classifications, to top three finishers in multiple age-group categories, and to the company with the most participation. Net proceeds will be donated to a local community or educational program; the specific beneficiary is to be determined.
Registration options include individual and team pricing with a team discount for groups of 15 or more. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. Registration fees are non-refundable and are applied to race expenses. Parking is available nearby at Midblock Garage, about three blocks from the start, for a fee. Bib and T-shirt pickup are handled on race morning; registering at least three weeks in advance allows a personalized bib number. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
