About the American Legion Post 14 Birthday Bash 5k

The course runs along Cross Lake on South Lakeshore Drive, out and back from the American Legion Post parking lot. It is a lakeside road route, so the scenery stays open and the terrain is straightforward. The race benefits veterans and their families, and the morning wraps up with a birthday celebration that includes food, cake, and sponsor booths.

Packet pickup happens at a local running store in the days before the race, with an additional pickup option at the Post itself for anyone who cannot make the store hours. Race-morning pickup is available at the start area as well.

Common Questions About the American Legion Post 14 Birthday Bash 5k

Will I finish last at the American Legion Post 14 Birthday Bash 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:56, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:53, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the American Legion Post 14 Birthday Bash 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (57 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 American Legion Post 14 Birthday Bash 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 22:35 while the median finisher took 41:56. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
