This second annual event brings together athletes of all abilities, families, caregivers, veterans, supporters, and community members to unite in a movement that transcends traditional racing.
The day begins with early morning setup at 8:00 AM for staff, volunteers, and vendors. Participant check-in opens promptly at 9:00 AM, allowing runners, walkers, wheelchair users, adaptive athletes, prosthetic wearers, and families ample time to prepare before the festivities kick off.

The official opening ceremony starts at 11:00 AM, featuring welcoming remarks, an invocation, recognition of sponsors, community leaders sharing their insights, and highlights from participants who embody the spirit of ENABLED. A group warm-up session follows at 11:30 AM to energize everyone for what lies ahead.
At noon sharp, the race begins with a ceremonial start line where all participants are welcomed to walk, run, or roll through the picturesque Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The course is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for runners of every ability level, ensuring that everyone can experience the thrill of crossing the finish line together.
Post-race celebrations include food and refreshments from local vendors, live entertainment by a DJ, inspirational speeches, testimonials from participants about their journeys, giveaways, raffles, and professional race timing. The day concludes with an awards ceremony recognizing adaptive athletes and other notable achievements, followed by a community celebration that reinforces the event's mission of inclusivity and empowerment.
This year’s ENABLED 5K Experience also aligns with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, making it a cause-driven event where every step taken contributes to meaningful support for individuals facing challenges related to disability or health.
