New York > NYRR Half Marathon Series: Queens Half Marathon
New
York-Queens, NY
Date
Saturday, July 24, 2010
Event
Details
The sound of planes taking off and landing at nearby LaGuardia Airport
are the signature sound you'll hear along the course of the Queens leg
of the New York Road Runners Half-Marathon Grand Prix, as the race
course takes runners within shouting distance of the airport from its
new starting line for 2010 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
The third of five races in
the Grand Prix, the Queens half marathon also offers numerous sights
along the way for runners, including Frank Golden Memorial Park and
Francis Lewis Park, as well as plenty of views of the sound and the
bridges that lead over into the Bronx.
From the starting line, this fast, flat out-and-back course takes participants
southward through the neighborhoods of the College Point district and
then eastward into the Whitestone and Beechhurst areas, zigging and
zagging through neighborhoods winding its way back to the park through
New York's largest and most diverse borough for the finish.
Race participants are limited to three hours on the course, after which
time medical stations and refreshments will no longer be available. The
race starts at 7:00 AM.
