Astoria Post: Join the Queens Marathon Expo on March 29 featuring community-driven vendors and race-day essentials | March 2025: Ready, set, go! The second annual Queens Marathon Expo will be held on Saturday, Mar. 29, at the Queens Museum in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
Hosted by Queens Distance Runners (QDR), the Queens Marathon Expo is an event where registered participants of the Queens Marathon gather to pick up their race bibs, connect with fellow runners (and potential competitors), and speak with vendors about their organizations. The attendees will have a chance to gain valuable insights through one-on-one interactions regarding the vendors’ products and services. The expo fosters a close-knit running community that celebrates health, camaraderie, and athleticism. The following day, runners will toe the starting line on Sunday, Mar. 30, at the Queens Marathon. Participants selected from the marathon, half marathon, or 10K race options at the borough’s largest park.

The confirmed vendors are New Immigrant Community Empowerment (NICE), Queens Community House, Commonpoint Queens, and The Hustle Barbershop, a Queens-based barbershop owned by Run Hustle Run founder Carlos Mercado, better known as “Charly Hustle.” The Hustle Barbershop will reprise its initiative from last year’s expo by offering free haircuts to participants. The World’s Borough Bookshop is a potential vendor for the anticipated marathon expo.
