About the 5K for Ballet!
The course starts and finishes at the Haddam Neck Fairgrounds, looping out onto country roads that are mostly flat with a couple of moderate rises and one sharp drop on the way back. A costume contest runs alongside the race, with prizes for the best dressed, and strollers are welcome on the course.
Bib pickup opens before the start on race morning. Walkers check in at the fairgrounds but do not need a bib. Parking is at the fairgrounds itself, so there is no shuttle or remote lot to navigate.

The 5K for Ballet! has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
