QUEENS, New York (WABC) — More than 13,000 runners took part in the sold-out 2026 Citizens Queens 10K on Saturday morning in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.<\/p>\n

Hosted by New York Road Runners<\/a>, the annual race sent participants on a 6.2-mile course through the park, passing iconic landmarks including the Unisphere and the Queens Museum.<\/p>\n

Now in its 13th year, the Citizens Queens 10K has become one of the borough’s signature running events, drawing 11,600 adult athletes from across New York City and beyond.<\/p>\n

More than 1,000 children also participated in the accompanying Flushing Meadows Kids Run, which featured free races and dashes for young runners.<\/p>\n

The Citizens Queens 10K is the fourth of six races in the NYRR Five-Borough Series, showcasing New York Road Runners’ commitment to the individuals and communities in each borough.<\/p>\n

For the third consecutive year, Citizens served as the title sponsor, hosting a post-race festival in Flushing Meadows Corona Park celebrating both runners and the Queens community. The festival offered music from a live DJ; family-friendly games and activities; delicious summer treats from a popsicle truck and brownies from Queens Night Market vendor Dilena’s Dolcini; exciting raffle prizes; and fun photo opportunities.<\/p>\n
