The Experience

The Flushing NYC Half Marathon winds through the diverse and vibrant landscape of Flushing Meadows Park, a true gem in Queens. Runners will experience a relatively flat and fast course, with only two minor inclines when crossing overpasses, offering surprisingly beautiful views that make the effort feel worthwhile. This event has become a popular way to kick off summer running.

As one of CityTri's well-organized events, the half marathon, along with its 10K and 5K counterparts, promises professional timing and results. The park setting provides a unique backdrop, with the iconic Unisphere serving as a landmark for runners. It's an ideal opportunity to experience a dynamic urban race in one of New York City's most culturally rich boroughs.

You’ll run past the Unisphere on a relatively flat and fast course with two small uphill sections when you cross an overpass. The views from the overpass are so beautiful that you’ll hardly notice. Join us on what has become one of the best events to get your summer running on track.
