Hot Cocoa Crush 5K & 10K - Queens
The event stages 5K and 10K road runs at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens with the start and finish on the north side of the Queens Theater. The course uses repeated loops: the 5K consists of two loops and the 10K consists of four loops of the same 5K course. 10K participants must cross the finish line mats on each loop for accurate split times and synced finish-line photos.
Venue details note parking near the Queens Museum and walk access to the Queens Theater. Bathrooms are within a few minutes walk from the start and finish; porto-johns are placed near the finish line. Hydration is provided at the finish line. An informal bag-check area will be available in the staging area; the organizer does not assume responsibility for personal belongings.
Refreshments at the finish are provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Race items can be mailed in advance for a fee; virtual participants receive mailed items when race gear ships and may post times online for a one-week window starting on the event start date. Virtual entrants may upload up to five photos when submitting results.
Age-group recognition is awarded online for overall top finishers and age categories from 14 and under up through 90 plus. Proceeds benefit the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports athletic and charitable events and athlete development.
