Queens Marathon & QDR Half Marathon - December 5 and 6, 2026
Queens Marathon Weekend is a two-day road racing event based at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Corona, NY. The weekend schedule includes a 5K and 10K on December 5 and the Queens Marathon plus the QDR Half Marathon on December 6. Organizers note a pending permit that could move the December 6 races onto the streets of Queens; participants will be notified if the route changes.
Distances offered:
- Full Marathon (26.2 miles)
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
Registration is handled online and registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. The event supports community initiatives; a portion of past proceeds benefited a borough-wide scholarship effort for third graders. The weekend also includes team and crew competition through the Queens Crew Cup, with teams earning points across a series of QDR races.
Logistics information lists the Queens Museum area and Unisphere as venue landmarks, on-site parking near the Queens Museum and Meadow Lake, and public transit access via the 7 train to Mets Willets Point (approximately a 10-minute walk). Awards are given to top three overall finishers in male, female and non-binary categories and to top three in multiple age groups. Live online results and same-day finish line photos are provided.
