Our 3 year old spring race in Queens has been a phenomenal success, so we thought we’d give it a whirl in the late fall when the foliage in Flushing Meadows Park is oh so perfect.  This time though, we’re replaced the 5K with a 10K. It’s late in the year – so you’ll be ready for it.

Course: Half Map. 10K Map forthcoming, but the course will be very similar (though one loop).

Time Limit: The official time limit is three hours for the half and 90 minutes for the 10K but as a rule of thumb the last thing we unplug is the finish line mat – take your chances after those times .

Awards: Awards and prize money will be given to the top three male and female runners overall in each race as follows: $100 for 1st Place, $50 for 2nd Place, and $25 for 3rd Place.  Age group awards will be awarded to the top three in each of the following age groups: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 and over.

Packet Pickup: Pre-race packet pickup is TBD. Race-day packet pickup will be available at the festival area from 6:30AM until 7:30AM on race day.
