NYRR Mindful 5K
The NYRR Mindful 5K is a community 5-kilometer run held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Corona, New York, on May 2, 2026. The event is part of Mental Health Awareness Month and emphasizes mental well-being, connection, and self-care by encouraging participants to move at their own pace.
The course is set within Flushing Meadows Corona Park and is described as a calm, energizing backdrop. The event includes an on-site Zen Zone offering opportunities for meditation and mindfulness, with live sessions and self-guided audio available to registered participants before the run.
This scored race is part of NYRR’s programs and counts toward the 9+1 credit. Kids ages 2 to 18 may join Rising NYRR on race day via free, race-day youth programming; registration is required for youth participation. Awards are presented to the top three overall finishers in the men, women, and nonbinary divisions, and age-group awards can be claimed after the event.
Race-day amenities include water on the course and water, apples, and pretzels after the finish. Bag check is available at Race Day Central; only clear bags are accepted and size restrictions apply.
