From the Organizer

Join us on September 13th to run a half marathon, 10k, or 5k on an unforgettable tree lined course with vistas of the city, Unisphere, and all that makes Flushing Meadow Corona Park the heart of this amazing community.  The course for Half Marathon athletes is a fast 3.27 mile loop that they complete 4 times.  10K athletes run most of the same course with a short cut off so that they complete 3.1 miles for each loop, thus completing 2 loops to finish.  5K athletes run this same course once.  Each loop is chip timed real time, with digital mapping, and live streaming.  Further, support B-Local NYC the non-profit that is leading the charge businesses that have a social impact.  It's a wonderful way to keep up with your racing in the most incredible city in the world. Join us! ...
