About the Queens Marathon
The tenth annual Queens Marathon is the Sunday centerpiece of a borough race weekend. Its full and half are separately raced, while 5K and 10K events take place the day before.
Course
The marathon uses an urban Queens layout designed for a full-distance community field. Runners should review current maps for loop counts, turns and aid rather than assuming another New York race's route.
Race-day weather
Early December in Queens may be crisp and favorable, but wind, cold rain or an early freeze can change conditions. Layers should work for both exposed roads and a warming effort.
