About the Birmingham Public Schools 5th Grade Run

The course runs through Beverly Park, and the whole event is built around the fifth-grade students of Birmingham Public Schools. Boys and girls run separately, and the school with the highest share of participants takes home a trophy. Snacks and water are at the finish line.

Check-in opens well before the start, and the organizers encourage arriving early so students can warm up with their school group. Bibs are handed out at check-in and should be worn on the front. There is no registration on the day of the event.

Common Questions About the Birmingham Public Schools 5th Grade Run

Will I finish last at the Birmingham Public Schools 5th Grade Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 1 Miles field finished slower than 7:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 16:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Birmingham Public Schools 5th Grade Run a good first 1 Miles?

It is a small race (115 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 1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Birmingham Public Schools 5th Grade Run?

The 1 Miles winner ran 5:48 while the median finisher took 7:57. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
