Queens Marathon Weekend 2026
Queens Marathon Weekend takes place over two days in December 2026 with events across Queens. On December 5 the QDR 5K and 10K are held at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. On December 6 the Queens Marathon and QDR Half Marathon move to a new street course in Long Island City, with the start area near LaGuardia Community College.
The weekend program includes the following race distances:
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- Full Marathon (26.2 miles)
The organizer moved the marathon course from Flushing Meadows Corona Park to Long Island City because of repeated flooding near Meadow Lake; the change represents the event’s first street course outside the park and a step toward expanding into more Queens neighborhoods. The event has grown in participation over recent years and includes team registration options and member discount codes for Queens Distance Runners members.
Practical information published for participants includes travel guidance for both sites, a recommendation to arrive well before race time on December 6 because of road closures, and suggested parking areas for the park day. Registration terms state that fees are non-refundable and entrants must accept a liability release. Awards are given to the top three overall and top three in male, female, and non-binary age groups (29 & under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+). Live online results and same-day finish-line photos are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
