Welcome to September, and the Unofficial Start of the Fall Racing Season!
Those that took part in our “Spring Forward 10 and 5 Miler” know exactly what to expect. These races have one thing in mind, getting you prepared for the full schedule of the Fall Racing Season using the best bang for your buck we can think of, the Rolling Hills of Forest Park!
Whether you are running the 10 Miler, or the 5 Miler, you will have a high quality course ahead of you. The Race Central will be located at Forest Park Drive, by Woodhaven Blvd.
Our mission is to introduce and develop the Queens Running Community. With few races in Queens’ 3rd Largest Park, you’ll enjoy a quiet scene and opportunity for you to hone in on your Race Pace. Our Volunteers are highly knowledgeable, run the Borough every day, and will be on site to help any racers along the way.
As always we will close out the Race Event with a Free of Charge, Kids of Queens 1 Mile Heat that is put together with the hopes of giving our Local Youth more opportunities to stay active and healthy in the presence of our always inspiring Running Community.
The Kids of Queens will get started at 11am. Kids running with Parents will be allowed to start with their kids towards the end of the pack, along with any Strollers.
All Finishers will receive a Medal for their Efforts!
