Get in that All-Important Marathon Pace TUNEUP with Queens Distance! Running a Spring Marathon? This will be a Must! Run up to 6 Loops to get to 30K of well Paced Marathon Miles.
With Spring Racing Schedules cramped in April, and with Runners Training up to their Marathon Pace in the dead of Winter, we are proudly returning our Featured Tune-Up Event, the Spring Marathon Tune-Up at Flushing Meadows Corona Park! While this will be a Dress Rehearsal for the 4th Annual Queens Marathon, we hope that anyone everyone running a Spring Marathon will Sign-Up for the Spring Marathon Tune-Up.
Make sure to Sign Up and guarantee your spot! There will be a Location for Bag Check and if you are looking to get extra Miles beforehand, are welcome to do so. (Please listen to Instructions from Volunteers and Staff, just in case)
The Course MAP Here: The Course will feature a Looped Out and Back 5K Perimeter through the Unisphere side of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. There will be no Meadow Lake. This ensures that there are no issues with Snow, Ice and Flooding of the Route
Water Stations and Bathrooms: There will be Two Water Stations along with Electrolytes (Gatorade) and will have GU and Bananas after 1 Hour into the Event. There will be at least two NYC Parks Bathrooms open. We will also have Portable Toilets near the Start and Finish
Time Limit: 4 Hours (12:52 Pace Per Mile). We will make sure to have Volunteers lively and ready for any and all runners.
