About the Addy’s Run 5K

Addy's Run is a charity race built around one Waterford family's effort to raise awareness for CLOVES syndrome, a rare condition. Proceeds go toward research for a disease that currently has no cure. The race has a personal, local feel that comes through clearly, run by the family themselves rather than a large event company.

Post-race, there are raffles on site. Packet pickup and parking details are not something the organizers spell out publicly, so arriving with a little extra time before the start is a reasonable habit for any first-timer.

Common Questions About the Addy’s Run 5K

Will I finish last at the Addy’s Run 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:44, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:28, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Addy’s Run 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (160 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Addy’s Run 5K?

The 5K winner ran 18:12 while the median finisher took 32:44. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
