The Flushing NYC
The Flushing NYC race, hosted by CityTri, takes place in Queens' iconic Flushing Meadows Park, starting and finishing near the Unisphere. The event features a scenic, relatively flat course named "The Rocket," which passes beneath the Rocket Thrower statue and includes a highway overpass offering stunning views of the Unisphere and NYC skyline. Distances include a half marathon (four loops of 3.27 miles), a 10K (two loops), and a 5K (one loop).
The race offers live timing, free photos and videos, commemorative medals, technical shirts, and multiple water stations. Awards are given for overall and age group top finishers, creating a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere celebrating Queens' diversity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
