Queens Marathon Weekend 2026 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park
Queens Marathon Weekend spans two days in December at Flushing Meadows Corona Park and features multiple distance events organized by Queens Distance Runners and elitefeats. The weekend schedule includes races on December 5 and December 6, with the December 6 location subject to change if a street-race permit is approved.
Distances offered:
- Full Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
The event series has grown in recent years, with participant numbers rising from about 500 in 2023 to over 1,000 in 2024 and continued growth planned for 2025 and 2026. Part of the weekend’s proceeds previously supported a borough-wide scholarship initiative for third graders through NYC Kids Rise.
Registration is available with race-specific fees and member discounts for Queens Distance Runners and QDR+ participants. Team registration and a season-long Queens Crew Cup points challenge for Queens-based crews are part of the event program; standings and prizes are tracked across qualifying QDR races. Awards include top three overall and top three age-group finishers for male, female, and non-binary categories.
Site access notes mention the Queens Museum parking lot and nearby parking areas, and public transit access via the 7 train to Mets Willets Point with an approximate 10-minute walk to the park landmarks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
