Runners will head to the start of the race at the Queens Museum building on Meridian Road, located inside the park. The race is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. Participants also have the option to join or create their own teams for the race.

Kids will also have the option to participate in a free kiddie run, scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Participants will get a “Hoppin’ Easter Bunny” t-shirt and a “Great Easter Medal” to match. Pricing for the 5k and 10k is $40 and $45 per person respectively.
