Anaheim Ducks 5K

Irvine, CA

Registration openAnnual since at least 2022

About the Anaheim Ducks 5K

The course starts and finishes right outside the Ducks practice facility at Great Park, looping through and around the park. The terrain is what you would expect from a large urban park, open and mostly flat. After the run, there is a vendor village with games, activities, and music nearby, and the Ducks mascot makes an appearance.

Parking is in a designated lot along Corsair and Hornet inside the park. Plan to arrive well before the start, since the organizers suggest being parked early. Packet pickup is available before race day, and a friend or family member can grab your bib for you as long as they have your ID or registration confirmation. Pickup is also available on race morning.

Common Questions About the Anaheim Ducks 5K

Will I finish last at the Anaheim Ducks 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 39:37, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:23:50, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Anaheim Ducks 5K a good first 5K?

With 1,565 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. 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 Anaheim Ducks 5K?

The 5K winner ran 16:10 while the median finisher took 39:37. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
