This is an annual spring running event at Flushing Meadows Corona Park offering both a 5K and a 10K distance. The course visits the Unisphere twice and runs around the Fountain of the Planets, with start and finish near the Queens Theater.

Bathrooms are a few minutes' walk from the start and finish; additional porto-johns are located near the finish and at the NYC Parks building on the east side of the course. An informal bag check area will be available.
Pacing support is offered: 5K pacers from about 20 to 30 minutes, and 10K pacers from about 40 minutes to 1:05. A virtual option allows competitors to log a time and up to five photos during a week-long window starting the first day of the event; race items begin shipping on that first day.
Parking is noted at the Queens Museum area on Meridian Road with a walk to Queens Theater. Bibs can be mailed for a fee if requested in advance or picked up in person near the Queens Theater shortly before the event.
