Sri Chinmoy 5k Half Marathon & Relay

Set for its annual late spring running, the Sri Chinmoy 5K adds a 13.1-miler for individual and relay runners this spring, on a course that runs through Flushing Meadows Corona Park, perhaps best-known as the home of the USTA National Tennis Center (where the tennis U.S. Open is played every year) and the site of two World’s Fairs back in the early and mid-20th century. Run through one of New York’s iconic parks. You’ll run a fast, flat course that unfolds past some of Flushing Meadows’ best-known monuments and landmarks, like its Unisphere — commissioned for the New York City World’s Fair back in 1964 — and its statue of George Washington, the Queens Museum, and the New York Hall of Science. You’ll also pass by some of the most famous stadiums in sports today, like baseball’s Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets, and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the home of the United States Open, the final tennis grand slam championship of the year.
