About the AnMed Cannon's Fall For Health 5K

The course runs through Doodle Park, a public park in Pickens, on a certified route. The morning pairs the race with a health fair put on alongside it, with a focus on healthy living, so there is activity beyond the finish line. Awards go several places deep for overall and masters categories, with age group awards as well.

Packet pickup is the evening before the race at the park shelter, with another window on race morning. Parking is on E. Cedar Rock Street and at City Works on Railroad Street.

Common Questions About the AnMed Cannon's Fall For Health 5K

Will I finish last at the AnMed Cannon's Fall For Health 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 36:40, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the AnMed Cannon's Fall For Health 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (52 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 AnMed Cannon's Fall For Health 5K?

The 5K winner ran 18:50 while the median finisher took 36:40. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
