ABOUT QUEENS 10K TRAINING PLANS
The third race in the New York Road Runners' Five-Borough Series showcases the best of Queens in beautiful Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The Queens 10K is a flat, fast race with gorgeous late-May weather. Beginning runners and those kicking off their training for fall marathons will love this event. If you're digging into your season with this race, start it off right with a Queens 10K training program from Custom Training Plans. Our Queens 10K training plans take your fitness level, goals, and the course itself to provide you with a customized path to the start line.
The Queens 10K is run entirely within Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The race starts and finishes near the Fountain of the Planets. Once the race is underway, runners skirt the eastern border of the park before curving around Meadow Lake. The route then passes the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and Arthur Ashe Stadium. Participants will make a U-turn near Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets. Towards the end, the course wraps around the Queens Museum and passes by the Unisphere – the “World’s Borough’s” symbol – before arriving back at the Fountain of the Planets. CTP’s Queens 10K training plans can help you take advantage of this twisty, flat course.
Our Queens 10K training plans include workouts that incorporate mobility exercises that can increase stability, helping you stay injury-free during your prep for the race. Every workout will be customized to your current fitness level, so you can build strength at a pace that won’t burn you out.

Our method
-
With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.
-
We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.
-
Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
