About the race
The Great Easter Basket 5K & 10K is an annual spring running event held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens. The event offers both a 5K and a 10K course and includes finisher medals, event shirts, and refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water.
The 5K course is USATF certified and routes runners past the Unisphere twice and around the Fountain of the Planets. The 10K consists of two loops of the same certified course; 10K participants must run through the finish line at the end of each loop so split times and photos register correctly. Start and finish staging is located near the Queens Theater.
Amenities include an informal bag check area, portable toilets near the finish, and nearby park building bathrooms. Hydration is provided at the finish line. The event offers pacers on course for both distances and a virtual option that allows participants to log time and photos during the event week with race items shipped to virtual participants.
Awards recognize overall top finishers and age group top finishers across standard age brackets. Race-related donations benefit the Never Stop Running Foundation, a nonprofit that supports athletic and charitable programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
