Race Photos
Thank you all for joining us for our 10th Annual Sri Chinmoy Thanksgiving Day 5K in Flushing Meadows Corona Park!
The weather was iffy at first light this morning, but the sheets of rain soaking our intrepid setup crew eased off in time for the race, and the milder temperatures made for perfect running weather.
