About the Boulder Dash at Pinesburg Quarry

The course runs around an active rock quarry, which gives it a character you will not find at most local races. The shorter options stay on packed gravel and gently rolling roads at the quarry's edge. The longer challenge distance descends into the main quarry and an older one beside it, with real hills and uneven, rocky footing in places.

Packet pickup happens race morning before each wave starts, and the awards ceremony follows immediately after the event wraps up.

Common Questions About the Boulder Dash at Pinesburg Quarry

Will I finish last at the Boulder Dash at Pinesburg Quarry?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:44, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:57, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Boulder Dash at Pinesburg Quarry a good first 5K?

It is a small race (28 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 Boulder Dash at Pinesburg Quarry?

The 5K winner ran 21:02 while the median finisher took 32:44. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
