ABOUT THE EVENT
The Race Around the World is BACK!

Join us on Saturday, July 17, 2021 for the Sri Chinmoy 1 & 4 Mile Race "Around the World", featuring a mostly flat course (one small hill) through scenic Flushing Meadows Park.   Choose one of the following 3 options:

1-Mile Race:  Multiple starts between 8-9AM, TBA.  An out-and-back course, the turnaround is a gentle 250-meter curve around the Unisphere.

4-Mile Race:  Single start sometime between 9-9:30AM, TBA.  Two laps around a 2-mile loop, which includes most of the 1-mile section described above (you get to run around the world twice!)

1+4 CHALLENGE:  Are you up for the CHALLENGE?  Run the 1-Mile Race, catch your breath and rest up, then set off on the 4-Mile Race!  Competitors are eligible for awards in both the 1-mile and 4-mile races, and the top male and female finishers with the fastest combined 1-mile and 4-mile times each will receive "1+4 CHALLENGE" awards.
