Never Stop Running Foundation Yo Mama's So Fast 5K & Half Marathon
The Never Stop Running Foundation Yo Mama's So Fast event takes place on Mother's Day at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York. The event features multiple distance options on a USATF certified course centered around the Queens Theater and the Queens Museum.
Participants can choose from the following distances:
- Half Marathon
- 5K
- FREE Kiddie Dash
- Virtual Half Marathon
- Virtual 5K
The 5K consists of a single loop, while the Half Marathon requires completing four loops of the course. For the longer distance, there is a strict cutoff time of 3 hours and 15 minutes. Runners in the Half Marathon must cross the timing mats on each loop to ensure accurate split times and live tracking.
Amenities provided include an informal bag check area and restrooms located within a short walking distance of the start and finish lines. Hydration and refreshments are available at the finish line. All participants receive a commemorative t-shirt and a finisher medal. For those unable to attend in person, virtual options allow runners to log their times and upload photos during a designated one-week window.
The event supports the Never Stop Running Foundation, a non-profit organization that funds youth and special needs athletic programs and supports elite athletes. Public parking is available at the Queens Museum and Queens Theater. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
