Race facts
- Start line
- Start and finish in Flushing Meadows Corona Park near the Fountain of the Planets (NYRR: "starts and finishes ... near the Fountain of the Planets"), a loop past the Unisphere and Queens Museum. Coordinate is the Fountain of the Planets geocode — the start arch sits on the adjacent park road, approximate to ~100–200 m.
- Traditional start (not confirmed for 2027)
- 7:45 AM (America/New_York) — Mass start 07:45 AM. NYRR 2026 event-page JSON-LD startDate 2026-06-20T11:45:00Z (=07:45 EDT); multi-wave/corral release by predicted pace. Adaptive (handcycle/wheelchair) welcomed at Flushing Meadows races; exact adaptive gun not captured.
- Field size
- FINISHERS, 2025: "nearly 11,000 finishers" (Sat Jun 14 2025), per NYRR/press [search-surfaced]. 2026 SOLD OUT at ~12,000 adult registrants (NYRR 2026-06-15 PR); ABC7's "more than 13,000" figure folds in ~1,000 youth in the accompanying Flushing Meadows Kids Run — do not treat 13,000 as 10K finishers. 2024 was 10,000 runners.
