About the Black Men's Wellness Day 5K

The race starts and finishes in front of Scott High School, so the course loops back to where you began. It is part of a larger health and wellness event happening the same morning, with health screenings, live music, and activities for kids and older adults spread across the grounds around the finish area.

Packet pickup happens on race morning near the finish arch, where you collect your timing bib before the start. The surrounding event gives you plenty of reason to arrive early and stay after you cross the line.

Finish-Time Stats

Common Questions About the Black Men's Wellness Day 5K

Will I finish last at the Black Men's Wellness Day 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:36, 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 Men's Wellness Day 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (133 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Black Men's Wellness Day 5K?

The 5K winner ran 21:09 while the median finisher took 42:54. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
