About the Bryant Rotary Duck Derby Dash 5k

The course runs a couple of loops through Mills Park, so you come back through the middle before you are finished. It is a park setting, which keeps things shaded and soft underfoot. The race benefits the Bryant Rotary Kids Closet, so there is a reason behind the entry fee beyond the run itself.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at Athletico Physical Therapy on Main Street in Bryant, with race-morning pickup available on site as well. Walk-up registration is welcome, so you can decide late.

Common Questions About the Bryant Rotary Duck Derby Dash 5k

Will I finish last at the Bryant Rotary Duck Derby Dash 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:06, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:48, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Bryant Rotary Duck Derby Dash 5k a good first 5K?

It is a small race (119 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 Bryant Rotary Duck Derby Dash 5k?

The 5K winner ran 16:30 while the median finisher took 35:06. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
