Get into the Holiday Spirit, and be a part of our Annual Toy Drive 5 Miler!
In what has become tradition in the short history of the Queens Distance Runners, for the 4th consecutive year in December, we are putting together our annual Toy Drive for the Queens Centers for Progress! Half of the proceeds will go towards funding programs of the Queens Centers for Progress!
This 5 mile race will be two loops of a 2.5 mile perimeter of the north side of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. We ask that you bring a toy (preferably wrapped) that will be donated to children of the Queens Centers for Progress for the Holidays!
