About the Black Friday Run Off the Turkey 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

The course starts and finishes at a neighborhood amenity center in Saint Augustine, keeping everything close and contained. The crowd is made up mostly of people burning off the previous day's meal, which gives it a casual, post-holiday energy. Age group awards go deep, covering a wide spread from young runners through masters and beyond.

Packet pickup is race morning only, handled in the window before the start, so no separate trip is needed the day before.

Common Questions About the Black Friday Run Off the Turkey 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Black Friday Run Off the Turkey 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 31:15, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:04, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Black Friday Run Off the Turkey 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (71 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 Black Friday Run Off the Turkey 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:48 while the median finisher took 31:15. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
