DETAILS

QUEENS DISTANCE RUNNERS BELIEVES THAT NYC thrives because of its immigrant communities, and it is essential to create welcoming spaces where all residents can learn about and connect with organizations that empower them. By supporting this race, participants help foster inclusion and access to vital resources while celebrating the diversity Queens IS KNOWN FOR. FOLLOWING event expenses, proceeds will be evenly shared with NICE, furthering their mission to support immigrant workers. A virtual option is also available, allowing more people to join and contribute to this important cause.

Once the starting horn goes off, runners will begin their trip around Flushing Meadows Corona Park, taking in all the iconic sights, including the Queens Unisphere and the New York State Pavilion, which will make for great photo opportunities. We surprised folks at our previous event with hot cocoa, and since IRNYC 5K is a February race, we can advertise that if you are brave enough to race with us, you’ll get hot chocolate! You’ll also have a fun race DJ to jam out to after the race!
