About the Alexa Brown 5K

This race is held in memory of Alexa Brown, with proceeds going toward childhood cancer research. There is also a short kids' fun run on the butterfly theme, so families tend to show up together. The course details are spare, but the purpose behind the morning is clear and the crowd reflects that.

Packet pickup is the evening before at Clyde United Methodist Church on Maple Street. The route is foot traffic only, so leave the bikes, scooters, and skateboards behind.

Common Questions About the Alexa Brown 5K

Will I finish last at the Alexa Brown 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 39:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Alexa Brown 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 380 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Alexa Brown 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:26 while the median finisher took 39:00. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
