About the Aimee Romero Memorial Cupcake 5K Run/Walk

This race in Greentown honors a specific person, with proceeds going to a foundation and scholarship funds in her name. The cupcake theme carries through the event's spirit, and teams are encouraged to dress up and compete for a spirit award alongside the standard running competition. There is also a short kids' fun run before the main event.

The race runs in the evening, which makes it feel different from a typical weekend morning event. Fireworks close out the night after awards, so it is worth staying around after you finish.

Common Questions About the Aimee Romero Memorial Cupcake 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Aimee Romero Memorial Cupcake 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:04, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:39, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Aimee Romero Memorial Cupcake 5K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (43 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 Aimee Romero Memorial Cupcake 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:26 while the median finisher took 33:04. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
