Common Questions About the BCS Wellness Be My Valentine 5K and 1.5 Mile Walk

Will I finish last at the BCS Wellness Be My Valentine 5K and 1.5 Mile Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 29:53, and the last recorded finisher came in around 53:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the BCS Wellness Be My Valentine 5K and 1.5 Mile Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (174 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 BCS Wellness Be My Valentine 5K and 1.5 Mile Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:25 while the median finisher took 29:53. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
