About the Brianna Marie Foundation 5K

The race takes place at Wickham Park, which gives the course a open, park setting. The event has a butterfly release and a raffle alongside the running, so the atmosphere on the morning reflects the foundation behind it: this is a race tied to a specific cause, fetal medicine research, and the crowd tends to be there for that reason as much as the mileage.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a local running store on Wickham Road, with a second window at the park itself on race morning before the start. Parking at Wickham Park is generally straightforward given the site.

Common Questions About the Brianna Marie Foundation 5K

Will I finish last at the Brianna Marie Foundation 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 38:55, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:13:56, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Brianna Marie Foundation 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 355 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Brianna Marie Foundation 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:45 while the median finisher took 38:55. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
