QDR Spring Forward 10 & 5 Miler
The QDR Spring Forward 10 & 5 Miler takes place in Forest Park, Woodhaven. The event serves as a preparation race for spring season goals and is held regardless of rain or sunshine. The course consists of a 2.5 mile out-and-back loop on Forest Park Drive, passing by the Victory Field Track and heading toward Metropolitan Avenue. The route is USATF certified and features the rolling hills characteristic of the park.
Participants can choose between two primary distances:
- 5 miles (2 loops)
- 10 miles (4 loops)
The race starts near Woodhaven Boulevard, where runners follow the right lane of the road. After reaching the turnaround point at Metropolitan Avenue, participants return to the Woodhaven Boulevard side to complete each loop. Timing mats are located at the end of the loop to track progress.
Amenities available for the event include baggage storage and live results sent via text or email. All participants who complete their distance receive a finisher medal, and free finish line photos and videos are provided. Runners who complete their registration at least three weeks before the race receive a personalized bib with their name.
The location is accessible via public transportation, with the q53 bus stopping at Myrtle Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard. For those traveling by car, parking is available at the Forest Park Bandshell. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
