Queens Get the Money (QGTM) is Back—Bigger, Bolder, and Benefiting the Kids of Queens!
The day before the biggest race in Queens, the Queens Marathon & QDR Half, we’re bringing the heat to Flushing Meadows Corona Park with the return of Queens Get the Money—our high-energy 5K/10K shakeout race that sets the stage for race weekend.
What started as a grassroots movement has grown into one of the city’s most anticipated running weekends, complete with a race expo, a full calendar of events, and a deeper purpose benefitting NYC Kids Rise.
Inspired by our community’s support and the rising momentum of our signature races, we’re proud to bring back QGTM as the official shakeout for the Queens Marathon/QDR Half Marathon and pay it forward for ALL third graders attending Public Schools in Queens!
QGTM isn’t your average shakeout. It will be held in the following format
8AM Heat 1: The Competitive Wave – Go all out for glory (and prize money—amounts TBA)!COME EARLY to watch this!
9AM Heat 2: The General Wave – Get those legs moving, shake off pre-race nerves, and soak in the Queens energy.
Then, head straight into the Queens Museum to grab your bib for the QDR Half Marathon or Queens Marathon.
