About the 5K Run & Walk for OPC Meals on Wheels

The course runs out and back along the Clinton River Trail, starting at the Older Persons' Commission building. The trail is straightforward with no real climbing, just a clean path along the river. The race benefits Meals on Wheels, so there is a clear sense of purpose in the crowd, people who know the organization and care about it.

Packet pickup runs across two days before the race at the OPC main entrance, with race-morning pickup available as well. There is a pancake breakfast at the finish, and post-race snacks round out the morning.

Common Questions About the 5K Run & Walk for OPC Meals on Wheels

Will I finish last at the 5K Run & Walk for OPC Meals on Wheels?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:13:19, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 5K Run & Walk for OPC Meals on Wheels a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (147 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 5K Run & Walk for OPC Meals on Wheels?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:33 while the median finisher took 37:42. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
