Course and logistics
The course is called The Rocket and follows long tree-lined promenades with views of the Unisphere and Rocket Thrower installations inside Flushing Meadow Corona Park. The half marathon, 10K, and 5K use the same loop configuration with different lap counts or a short cut for the 10K.
Each loop is chip timed with live splits, digital mapping, and live streaming. Timing devices are placed at course U-turns and splits are posted live on the results page. Runners must wear their BIB on the front torso to ensure they are timed. BIB pick-up is race day only, 30 to 60 minutes before the start time; the official start time is determined the week of the event based on the weather. Amenities listed include free pictures and video on the results page, a technical shirt, a commemorative finisher medal, medal awards, baggage check, toilets, and water stations every 1.5 miles with gels and sports drink. Prices increase after November 30, 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
