About the Beck's 5K Run/Walk

Beck's 5K starts and finishes near the company's research building, with packet pickup the evening before at that same spot. The course is open to strollers and leashed dogs, so the field tends to look like a neighborhood out for a morning walk as much as a race. A kids' fun run follows the main event. The race raises money for a rotating roster of charities.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at the research building, with race-morning pickup available as well. The start area is right there, so you can park, pick up your bib, and be ready without much running around.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Beck's 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Beck's 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 42:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:18:35, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Beck's 5K Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 268 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Beck's 5K Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:13 while the median finisher took 42:26. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
