NSRF Abominable 5K & 10K

The event is a 5K and 10K held on January 16, 2027 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens. It is the third stop of the NYC Parks Winter Series and uses a USATF certified 5K course that passes the Unisphere twice and circles the Fountain of the Planets. The start and finish are located on the north side of the Queens Theater.

Distances:

5K : one loop of the certified course
10K : two loops of the 5K course; runners must cross the finish mats each loop for accurate splits

Options include in person and virtual participation. Virtual entrants have a one week window to log a time and may upload up to five photos. Bib mailing is available for a fee if registered at least ten days before the race. An Abominable tee is provided to participants and refreshments are supplied by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water.

Onsite amenities include an informal bag check area, nearby bathrooms, porta johns near the finish, and hydration at the finish line. Age group recognition is offered for overall top finishers and standard age brackets from 14 and under through 90 plus. A portion of event proceeds benefits the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
