An ‘Adventure’ for the whole family
Flushing Meadows Park plays host to a unique parent-child competition this weekend
BY JACOB KAYE
We’re still a year out
from next summer’s
Olympics in Japan, but
families in Queens can get
in the Olympic spirit early –
and participate themselves
– in the Family Adventure
Race in Flushing Meadows
Corona Park on July 13.
Hosted by the City
Parks Foundation, the
Family Adventure Race is
a parent-child competition
that includes a smattering
of different challenges all
intended to incorporate
basic exercise, sports skills
and an opportunity for
family bonding.
The timed race includes
12 activity stations. In
order to move from one to
the next, participants must
perform the exercise or task
designated for the station
together.
Activities include a
javelin throw, jumprope,
hurdles, a mini-climbing
wall and an all-out sprint
to the finish line.
The first race will kick
off at 9 a.m. on Saturday,
July 13, in Flushing
Meadows Corona Park, by
the Fountain of the Planets
near the Unisphere.
A second race will begin
at 10 a.m. and will conclude
an hour later.
Awards will be given
to the top three finishers
in each race but all

participants who finish the
race will be awarded with a
medal.
Each team must have
at least one parent or
guardian and up to two
children between the ages
of 8 and 12.
Registering in advance
is strongly encouraged –
and can be done so here –
but walk-up participants
are also welcome.
Additional races will be
held in Inwood Hill Park in
Manhattan on July 27, and
Crotona Park in the Bronx
on Aug. 10.
