The Queens Spring Half, 10k, and 5k 2026
The Queens Spring Half takes place in the historic Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York. The event provides multiple distance options for participants, with all routes centered around the iconic Unisphere. Each course is designed as a well-marked, tree-lined loop through the park.
Participants can choose from three distinct distances:
- Half Marathon (consisting of four loops)
- 10k (consisting of two loops)
- 5k (consisting of one loop)
The race environment includes comprehensive course support. Aid stations positioned along the route provide water, electrolyte drinks, and gels. For the Half Marathon, every loop is timed in real-time, allowing for digital tracking throughout the duration of the event.
Entrants receive several amenities, including a technical T-shirt with a full-color logo and a die-cast finishers medal. The event features live chip timing and digital tracking that allows spectators to monitor progress on a digital map. Post-race refreshments include bagels with various toppings. Awards are presented to the top three male and female overall finishers, as well as the top three finishers in age groups ranging from 14-19 up to 60 and older.
Bib pickup is available on the day of the race at the event location. Finish line video and photographs are typically uploaded within two hours after the conclusion of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
