Diplo's Run Club - New York

Diplo's Run Club New York is a 5K taking place in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, followed by a concert. The concept is straightforward: run 3.1 miles through a New York landmark park, then remain for a set by Diplo and other artists. This New York event occurs in October. Its inaugural run attracted over 12,000 participants, sold out before the race, and was one of the largest debut running events in the city in over ten years. The course begins and ends within Flushing Meadows Corona Park, winding past Queens landmarks like the Unisphere and the New York State Pavilion. It functions more as a large-scale party run than a standard club race, with general participants alongside music figures. Diplo himself ran and achieved a personal best, and notable finishers included A$AP Ferg, A-Trak, and Mark Ronson. Packet pick-up is a standard part of the process for most runners, with the event t-shirt and bib provided before race day transitions from a 5K course to a post-run music festival.
