About the Ann's Run for Life

The course runs through neighborhood streets near Logan Martin Lake, so there are water views along the way. The route is certified by USATF and stays on road the whole time. Several distance options are available, from a short loop to longer out-and-back options, all starting and finishing at Ann's New Life Center.

The race benefits a local pregnancy help ministry based in Cropwell. Post-race there is an awards ceremony with age group and overall categories, and refreshments are available for purchase on site.

Common Questions About the Ann's Run for Life

Will I finish last at the Ann's Run for Life?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:39, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:34, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Ann's Run for Life a good first 5K?

It is a small race (65 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 Ann's Run for Life?

The 5K winner ran 20:21 while the median finisher took 40:39. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
