Sri Chinmoy New Year's Day Half-Marathon
The Sri Chinmoy New Year's Day Half-Marathon is held on January 1, 2027 in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, New York. The race uses a USATF certified course (certification NY22047DNB) that circles notable park landmarks including the Unisphere, Queens Museum of Art, and the Fountain of the Planets.
The course is a measured loop consisting of a 0.36 mile start loop plus ten repeats of a 1.274 mile main loop, with mile signs and all laps counted. Aid stations are located every mile and one main aid station by Race-Day Central provides water and sports drink. Amenities listed for the event include free parking, bag check, custom long sleeve race tops, custom finisher medals, free finisher photos, and a post-race pancake breakfast. Packet shipping is available for US addresses for a fee of $7.25 and packets are scheduled to ship in bulk in late December; on-site packet pickup is also offered.
Entry rules specify a minimum age of 16 on race day, no race day registration, and that entries cannot be transferred to another person. The posted time limit is three hours, equivalent to a 13:45 per mile minimum pace. Awards are offered by age group with multiple top places per category, and all finishers receive a custom medal. If the event must be cancelled for reasons beyond organizer control, it will be converted to a virtual event with shirts, medals, and trophies mailed as appropriate.
