Queens NYC Chiller
Queens NYC Chiller is a road race at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens on December 27, 2026. The event offers three distances on a shared looped course and is organized by CityTri Runs.
The course follows tree-lined park paths past the Unisphere and around Meadow Lake, with skyline views and shade over most of the route. The only notable climb is the ramp over the Long Island Expressway, with about 40 feet of gain each time it is crossed. All distances run the same loop until signs marked for each distance indicate splits. Yellow signs with black arrows mark intersections and carry distance assignments. There are three water stations per loop offering water, Gatorade, and gels.
Race logistics include race day bib pickup 30 minutes before each start wave, bag check, limited portable toilets at the start, and pre-race announcements. Timing uses professional chip timing with live results and lap splits. Every finisher receives a medal, a technical tee, a personalized race video, photos, and a race certificate. Post-race provisions include bagels, snacks, and drinks. Awards recognize overall top three men and women in each distance and top three in each age group. Entry transfers, credits, and refund protection follow the event's stated policies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
