Yo Mama's So Fast 5K & Half Marathon
This running event takes place in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens and is held on Mother's Day. It includes both an in-person race and a virtual participation option.
- 5K
- Half Marathon
The 5K is one loop and the half marathon is four loops on a USATF certified course. The start line is located on the south side of the Queens Theater. Runners in the half marathon must pass through finish line mats on each loop for accurate split times and photos. A cutoff time of 3:15 hours applies to the half marathon.
On-course and event amenities include an informal bag check area, bathrooms within a few minutes' walk, porto-johns near the finish, and a park building restroom near mile 2. Hydration is provided at the finish and refreshments are supplied by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Finishers receive a medal and an event tee is available. Live online, email, and text results are provided, along with same-day finish line photos. The half marathon offers live time tracking with split photos and predicted finish times.
A virtual option allows participants a one-week window from the first day of the event to log time and upload up to five photos; race items begin shipping on the event start day. Donations benefit the Never Stop Running Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization supporting special needs, youth running events, and athlete development.
