Join Us for the Elmhurst Mile Race!

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have been an unwavering pillar of support for the Queens Distance Runners and our incredible race events. Your enthusiasm, dedication, and spirit have fueled our journey and strengthened our commitment to fostering a vibrant running community these last 10 years.

As we reflect on the remarkable success of our street races throughout the years, we are thrilled to announce a momentous stride forward: the introduction of a brand-new race event, the Elmhurst Mile! This exciting addition to our roster is a testament to the passion and energy that each one of you brings to our running family.

Mark your calendars for October 26th, a day when the streets of Elmhurst will come alive with the exhilarating pulse of the newest mile race in Queens. 

Elmhurst Mile will benefit NYC Kids Rise, Elmhurst Hospital Auxiliary Unit, Indonesian Gastronomy Association and Queens Distance Runners.

We invite you, along with your families and friends, to join us in celebrating the spirit of community, competition, and camaraderie that defines our mission.

Whether you're a seasoned runner seeking a new challenge or a first-timer excited to take those initial steps, the Elmhurst Mile welcomes participants of all levels. It's not just a race; it's a shared experience that unites us in the joy of pushing boundaries and achieving milestones together.

Come soak in the vibrant atmosphere, cheer on fellow runners, and relish the sense of accomplishment as you cross the finish line.

Thank you for the support, we can't wait to see you on the starting line!

About Queens Distance Runners. In 2013, when QDR was founded by three mid-twenty fresh-out of college, we have always dreamed of the opportunity to welcome runners with the opportunity of racing our neighborhoods, while generating business for our local institutions, and supporting LOCAL causes.

Inching closer to these dreams, Queens Distance Runners has grown throughout the years, not only through our presence at numerous events across New York City, but through our own annual Race Events, organized across our Borough. 

Thank you for your support, Happy Training! #queensdistance  #queensisthefuture
