Common Questions About the Black Nurses of Southern Maryland Health Fair and Walk/Run

Will I finish last at the Black Nurses of Southern Maryland Health Fair and Walk/Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 46:31, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:57, 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 Nurses of Southern Maryland Health Fair and Walk/Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (85 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 Nurses of Southern Maryland Health Fair and Walk/Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:34 while the median finisher took 46:31. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
