Common Questions About the Autumn Chase Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Autumn Chase Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 1 Miles field finished slower than 9:22, and the last recorded finisher came in around 53:03, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Autumn Chase Fun Run a good first 1 Miles?

A field of 305 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 1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Autumn Chase Fun Run?

The 1 Miles winner ran 5:36 while the median finisher took 9:22. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
