Featuring the Queens Women's 5K, and Spring Forward 5 Miler & 10 Miler
Spring Forward returns to Forest Park in March 2027! With so many exciting events on the New York City running calendar, we're bringing our annual Spring Forward back!
While we're still planning our eventual return to the streets of Woodhaven, this year's Spring Forward will take place along the familiar (and not-so-scary!) hills of Forest Park Drive.
Introducing the Queens Women's 5K! (Women's Only Race)
We're proud to kick off this year's Spring Forward Running Festival with the Queens Women's 5K, a celebration of women, their strength, their stories, and the generations who came before us.
This race honors the women who paved the way, the mothers who raised us, their mothers before them, and the countless women whose sacrifices and determination continue to inspire future generations.
In celebration of Women's History Month, we want to create a welcoming and empowering space for women of all ages and abilities. Whether you're an experienced runner, returning to running, or taking your very first steps toward completing a 5K, this race is for you.
Your first 5K deserves to be celebrated just as much as your fastest!
The Queens Women's 5K will open the festival, giving participants the opportunity to run, walk, and celebrate together before the 5-mile and 10-mile events begin.
