About the BDMS Cupcake 5k

The course runs through a college campus, tracing a loop around a baseball field before opening up to views of the Hudson River. It goes around twice before finishing behind the school. The terrain is mixed, so expect pavement and paths rather than a straight road race. The hills of the campus give the route some shape.

Bib pickup runs the morning before the race at the school on campus, with an early window, and again on race morning before the start. Post-race, local businesses bring refreshments and there are cupcakes at the finish.

Common Questions About the BDMS Cupcake 5k

Will I finish last at the BDMS Cupcake 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.10686 Miles field finished slower than 32:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the BDMS Cupcake 5k a good first 3.10686 Miles?

It is a small race (144 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 3.10686 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the BDMS Cupcake 5k?

The 3.10686 Miles winner ran 17:56 while the median finisher took 32:03. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
