Yo Mama's So Fast 5K & Half Marathon
Yo Mama's So Fast is a running event held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens on Mother's Day. The event offers multiple distances and a free kiddie dash, and it uses a USATF certified course that loops through the park. Half marathon participants complete four loops while 5K participants run one loop.
- 5K - 1 loop around Flushing Meadows Corona Park
- Half Marathon - 4 loops with live split tracking and split photos
- Kiddie Dash - free children's dash before the main races
Amenities include an informal bag check area, nearby bathrooms within a few minutes' walk, porto-johns at the finish, hydration provided at the finish line, and refreshments supplied by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Finishers receive a finisher medal and event tee. Live online results, same-day finish line photos, and free video are available. A virtual option allows participants one week to log time and up to five photos; race gear ships beginning on the event start day.
Race operations note that half marathoners must cross finish mats on every loop for accurate split timing and photos, and the half marathon has a 3:15 hour cutoff. Bib mailing is available for a fee if registered in advance; in-person bib pickup is handled near the Queens Theater on race day.
One hundred percent of donations benefit the Never Stop Running Foundation, supporting special needs and youth running programs and athlete development. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
