The course passes the Queens Unisphere and the New York State Pavilion, providing recognizable park landmarks along the route. Half of the event proceeds are designated to support the nonprofit NICE, with remaining proceeds used to cover event expenses.
Distances offered:

- Virtual participation option
Race-day amenities and services include live results by web, text, and email, free finish-line photos, and personalized bibs when registered at least three weeks in advance. The event has previously offered hot chocolate and a race DJ at the finish area. Virtual participants may upload finish times and photos beginning on race day through the following Sunday. Guidance for tracking virtual efforts is provided, including options such as lap counts, treadmill, and common running apps.
Bib pickup details are provided to registrants. Early bib pickup is scheduled the day before the event in an emailed location and there is in-person pickup at the Queens Unisphere on the event day.
