ALL FINISHERS WILL RECEIVE A MEDAL!

The Spring Forward has been confirmed for March 8th! With events in the New York Community available for us to choose from, we are positioning our Spring Forward for this new March date. While we are planning on returning to the streets of Woodhaven, this Spring Forward returns to the reliable (and not as scary) hills of Forest Park Drive!

Runners will line up and head from Woodhaven Blvd on the drive towards Metropolitan Avenue and back to complete the first 2.5 mile loop. Runners in the 5 miler will complete another loop, and runners in the 10 miler will complete 4 loops for 10 miles. The course is USATF certified, and will be an excellent prep for a goal Spring Race.

Runners can take public transit, the q53 stops at Myrtle Avenue and Woodhaven Blvd. If you are driving, you can park at the Forest Park Bandshell. You will have to cross Woodhaven Blvd to see our Race Day Set-Up. Baggage will be available

INAUGURAL QUEENS CREW CUP
2026 ANNUAL QDR RACE CHALLENGE

The Queens Crew Cup Challenge is a season-long points competition for Queens-based run crews and clubs, beginning with Immigrants Run NYC and culminating at the Queens Marathon & QDR Half Marathon. Teams earn points by competing across a series of QDR races that prioritize accessibility, community, and borough pride, with standings tracked throughout the year.

Races currently open for registration include Immigrants Run NYC 5K, Spring Forward 5 & 10 Miler, Filipino Day 4 Mile (Opening Soon), Jackson Heights Mile & Relay, and the QDR Half Marathon, 10K & 5K.

The Challenge rewards consistency, participation, and depth—celebrating crews that show up for Queens all season long. When you register for races, make sure to indicate which team you will rep!

Each race will have updated standings published following the event.

The Men's and Women's first-place team from each race will receive their prize, presented at their regular meetup location so the respective crew can celebrate together.
