The New Yorker Half, 10K, and 5K Shake Out 2026

The New Yorker Half, 10K, and 5K Shake Out features three race distances within Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, with the Unisphere situated alongside the course. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, or 5K, accommodating those preparing over a short distance or using it as a longer run before a marathon. The races utilize repeat loops through the park, passing a lake and local landmarks rather than crossing the city. Half marathoners complete a flat, spectator-friendly 3.275-mile loop four times. 10K runners navigate a 3.1-mile loop twice, and 5K runners complete it once. Each loop is timed in real time, providing runners with split-by-split feedback throughout the event.
