About the 5K with the 5-0
The course runs out of the Oakland Police Department and heads north to the West Orange Trail, then west along the trail through town toward the Oakland Nature Preserve. You turn around at the preserve entrance and come back the same way. It is a paved, out-and-back route with the trail section giving it some shade and scenery. Aid stations are spaced through the middle miles.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at the police department, with a second window on race morning before the start. Parking is at Oakland Charter School on Oakland Ave, with accessible spaces available there as well. Vendors set up in the police department parking lot, so there is activity around the finish area after you come in.

5K with the 5-0 2025 Results
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The 5K with the 5-0 has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
