Sri Chinmoy New Year's Day Half-Marathon 2027

The Sri Chinmoy New Year's Day Half-Marathon is a New York City half marathon held annually on New Year's Day in Flushing Meadows Park. Organized by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, it features a flat, fast course utilizing a measured 5K loop instead of a point-to-point route. Runners complete the half-marathon distance by repeating the loop within the park. The course is USATF certified and includes aid stations approximately every mile, making it suitable for participants aiming for an early-season personal best or those seeking a structured start to the year. The event offers practical amenities including complimentary parking, bag check, a race shirt, finisher medals, and a post-race pancake breakfast.
