About

Join us on December 28th for these inaugural holiday season races, the Queens NYC Chiller Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K . The runner's designed course, named The Rocket , uses long tree lined promenades with vistas of the city, massive Unisphere and Rocket Thrower installations, and all that makes Flushing Meadow Corona Park the heart of this amazing community. The course for Half Marathon athletes is a fast 3.27 mile loop that they complete 4 times. 10K athletes run most of the same course with a short cut off so that they complete 3.1 miles for each loop, thus completing 2 loops to finish. 5K athletes run this same course once. Each loop is chip timed real time, with digital mapping, and live streaming. It's a wonderful way to keep up with your racing in the most incredible city in the world. Join us!

Timing

We use the latest German engineered technologies and equipment specifically designed to score and track your run. We place timing devices at the U-turns of our course to assure that all runners complete the course. In addition, you must start in the correct wave within the first 1-2 minutes of the start of your wave/category to be included in the awards ceremony. Late arrivals will be timed and included in the results if your finish time does NOT affect the awards ceremony. If you arrive late you still need to inform the timer before you start. You MUST wear your BIB on your front torso to assure that you get timed. You will get timing splits each time that you run past the START and at two additional locations. Your time will be posted online at the following RESULTS PAGE. You can share this with your fans so that they see your splits as they happen.
