Course Preview on this YouTube Link
Both courses are USATF Certified and the Queens Marathon will be a Boston Qualifier. In 2020, 16% of Marathoners qualified for the Boston Marathon on our fast 6.55 Mile looped course. A preview of the course is up on YouTube! The segment is also up on Strava. 


In the event the Parks Department and/or the city/state decides in favor of a protocol that impacts our event, then we will immediately notify all registered runners of next steps. We send out brief, but informative newsletters to all participants in anticipation of the event. 

Represent in Queens! If you wish to register a NEW TEAM, please follow the instructions below under “Join Team” and “Create Team”. Once a Team is created, it will be available to be selected by anyone.

SEE YOU IN QUEENS!

COURSE

BOSTON MARATHON QUALIFIER & USATF Certified

1 Loop- 6.55 Miles

Same course as 2020-21. Same fast course until we take it to the streets. The course can be summed as the east half of the Unisphere side of Flushing Meadows Park, followed by Meadow Lake, and retracing your steps over Meadow Lake Bridge before running towards the Unisphere and finishing the loop around the west side of Flushing Meadows Park. Runners will run past the Queens Museum and return to the Start/Finish Line to complete the loop.

Marathon = 4 Loops

Half-Marathon = 2 Loops

Water Tables: At the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Mile of each loop, you will have the opportunity to pick up Water at two tables. The Water Table is used on both sides of the course, both times. One hour after the race starts, we will leave out bananas and GU.

In December, we introduced a new Fluid Station exclusively and specifically for Marathoners with their own hydration fluids. 

30 Minutes before the Start of the Race, Marathoners may head up to our Marathon Fluid Table and check in TWO identical bottles with our Volunteers at the table. Looking at your bib number, which should clearly be visible, Volunteers will have your bottle ready for distribution at the start of the 2nd, 3rd or 4th Loop
