The Flushing NYC Half Marathon, 10K & 5K Races take place on Sunday, June 28, 2026 at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York (Corona, NY 11368) \u2014 home of the iconic Unisphere, built for the 1964 World’s Fair. Queens is NYC’s second most populous borough with 2.3 million people and holds the distinction of being the county with the highest rate of racial and ethnic diversity of all populous counties in the United States. Participants run a relatively flat and fast course past the Unisphere, through the park’s tree-lined promenades, with just two small uphill sections when crossing an overpass \u2014 the views from up there are so spectacular you’ll barely notice the grade. Three in-person distances \u2014 Half Marathon (13.1 miles), 10K, and 5K \u2014 plus Virtual options for all three. One of New York City’s best summer running events.
