Queens Marathon & QDR Half Marathon : May 3, 2026
The Queens Marathon & QDR Half Marathon is scheduled for May 3, 2026 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Corona, Queens (Queens Museum, Meridian Road, Corona, NY 11368). The event day focuses on multiple race distances and community participation.
Distances available on race day include:
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
The full marathon is currently on ice while organizers plan for a potential return in the fall. Registration is managed online; fees vary by distance and may include member discounts and additional options. Registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Race entries require agreement to standard terms and a liability waiver.
Previous editions included an expo, multiple races across three days, and fundraising for local causes. Proceeds from a prior weekend supported NYC Kids Rise by contributing to college savings accounts for third graders across Queens. The event publishes live online, email, and text results, and same-day finish-line photos and video.
Awards are presented to the top three male, female, and non-binary overall finishers and to the top three in each age group: 29 & under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+. Travel notes for participants mention on-site parking options at the Queens Museum and nearby lots, and public transit access via the 7 train to Mets Willets Point with an approximate 10 minute walk to the park.
