About:

Register for the 4th Annual Queens Marathon brought to you by the Queens Distance Runners!

The crown jewel park of Queens, Flushing Meadows Park, arguably represents the Queens Distance Runners and the Borough of Queens. On a weekly basis, thousands of locals keep to themselves and engage in daily activities. Without any hills, it is home to several paths that encourage fast running. It’s becoming less of a secret that Flushing Meadows Park is host to several fun events at any given moment, on any given path. The greatness of these events is that they are organized by the locals. Soccer tournaments on the dirt, volleyball and “Ecua” volley, Dragonboat Festivals, concerts, bike rentals and Zumba sessions along with so much more giving Flushing Meadows Park a diversity that is to be appreciated.

Organized annually every Spring, the Queens Marathon is a looped course, which we fully use to our advantage to create an atmosphere where the Runner and the Spectator work together. Friends of Queens Distance, Dozens of the New York City Area Running Clubs and the general public take a patch of the course and support participants throughout the course of the event. Runners have come around to the idea of our looped course, as they bond with the crowd and volunteers, who in turn remember the personality and determination of each runner.

While it is our goal to bring a full Queens Marathon to the streets, it is our immediate goal to focus on connecting our runners with our Local Civic Associations, Non-Profit Partners and Cultural Institutions that endlessly work to develop our Communities. Bringing the Race to life was the first step, and before we bring the runners through our Diverse and Inclusive Neighborhoods one day, it will be our collective mission to celebrate Queens at every turn at Flushing Meadows Corona Park on April 21st!
