About this race
The Sri Chinmoy Thanksgiving Day 5K, 10K & Kids Race is a holiday running event in Flushing Meadows Park in Queens, New York. Runners can choose a 5K or 10K, and children have their own shorter race, making the day suitable for families as well as adults seeking a timed run before Thanksgiving dinner.
The 5K follows a flat, fast loop around the park, with the 10K offered for runners wanting the longer distance on the same event morning. The setup is practical: free parking, bag check, and aid stations every mile. Finishers receive medals, running gloves, and free photos, and the post-race pancake breakfast provides the race's Thanksgiving feel.
