Queens Marathon EXPO
Saturday, December 6th
Immediately following the race, runners can check out the Queens Marathon Expo — where we’ll offer bib pickup, exclusive merch, local vendors, and panel talks with athletes, community leaders, and race organizers. This will be our 2nd formal Expo, a milestone as we continue building the Queens Marathon into a recognized grassroots event. It’s a place to meet the crew behind Queens Distance Runners, learn how we build races from the ground up, and get inspired by the stories of runners from across the five boroughs and around the world.
Queens Get The Money (QGTM) 5K & 10K
Saturday, December 6th
Queens Marathon Weekend is a borough-wide celebration of endurance, culture, and legacy — and this year, it returns stronger than ever. Join us on Saturday, December 6, as we kick things off with the Queens Get The Money 5K & 10K, a race at Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Whether you’re running to set a PR or just to be part of the action, this race is about claiming space in a city that doesn’t wait up. These events also raise awareness and funds for NYC KIDS RISE, the beneficiaries of the Queens Marathon weekend, helping us expand access to running for youth in immigrant and under-resourced neighborhoods.
Sunday
Queens Marathon + QDR Half Marathon
Sunday, December 7th
Then, on Saturday, December 7, we go the distance. The Queens Marathon and QDR Half Marathon return to Flushing Meadows Corona Park — one of the most iconic parks in NYC and a symbol of the borough’s immigrant story. With every loop, runners pass the Unisphere, a global centerpiece for a global borough. We’re proud to offer one of NYC’s most affordable and inclusive distance events, with a focus on course precision, community cheer stations, and a fast finish for both first-timers and Boston hopefuls. This is more than a race — it’s a reflection of the borough we serve. In Queens, we build our own legacy, one mile at a time. This Marathon will be the 10th Annual Queens Marathon.
