About the Burton Kiwanis Hot Fudge 5K Run/Walk

The race starts and finishes at a middle school on the north side of Burton, and all the pre- and post-race activity happens inside the building, which matters on a cold winter morning. The course is a 5K, with a walk option running alongside. At the finish, a spread of sweet and savory snacks waits inside, including hot fudge sundae fixings.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a running store in Grand Blanc, with race-morning pickup opening a couple of hours before the gun at the school. Parking is in the school's own lot, which is large enough that finding a spot is not a concern. Dogs are welcome on the course as long as they stay leashed and start near the back.

Common Questions About the Burton Kiwanis Hot Fudge 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Burton Kiwanis Hot Fudge 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:55, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:09, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Burton Kiwanis Hot Fudge 5K Run/Walk 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 Burton Kiwanis Hot Fudge 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 18:51 while the median finisher took 32:55. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
