W!se 5K Fun Run/Walk
The W!se 5K Fun Run/Walk is a community running event held in Astoria Park, Queens. The course consists of three loops, with the finish line located about 0.35 miles from the start line. The event lists the distance as 5K.
Amenities for participants include an informal bag check area in the staging area, nearby bathrooms within a few minutes walk of the start and finish, hydration at the finish line, and post-race refreshments provided by Nuun Hydration and WaterBoy. The event offers live, text, and email results, free finish line photos, and free same-day video and finish-line pictures. Participants who register at least three weeks in advance (by May 14) are eligible for a personalized race number.
Awards are given to the top three overall finishers in male, female, and mixed categories, and to the fastest team with four to score. Bib pickup is handled by event staff at the start line area; a self-lookup option is available for those who do not know their bib number.
Proceeds from the event benefit Working In Support of Education, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on improving economic mobility through financial literacy and college and career readiness programs for youth and at-risk adults. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
