Lace up for an inspiring journey at the Sri Chinmoy 5K, Half Marathon, and Relay in the heart of New York, NY, on July 11, 2026. Hosted by the renowned Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, this event invites runners to experience a "pancake flat" and exceptionally fast USATF-certified course winding through the iconic Flushing Meadows Corona Park. As you push your limits, you'll be treated to picturesque scenery, passing famous landmarks such as the Unisphere, the Queens Museum, the New York Hall of Science, and even getting a glimpse of Citi Field and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

Designed for personal bests, the course is a series of well-supported loops, with half marathon participants completing one 5K loop followed by three 5.37K loops. Aid stations are strategically placed every mile, offering essential hydration and energy to keep you fueled.
