About the CadeSTRONG 5K Run-and-Roll

The course runs out along the Silver Comet Trail from Nathan Dean Park and comes back the same way, so the finish is right where you started. It is a road surface with gentle rises near the river, nothing steep. This is an evening race, so you are running as the light drops, which changes the feel of it considerably.

After you finish, the park fills out with food trucks, inflatable rides, music, and games. There is also a raffle and an awards ceremony before the night wraps up. Parking is free in the lot at the park. Dogs on leashes are welcome if you are doing the shorter distance, but not on the main course.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 21, 2026.

Common Questions About the CadeSTRONG 5K Run-and-Roll

Will I finish last at the CadeSTRONG 5K Run-and-Roll?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:24, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:12:21, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the CadeSTRONG 5K Run-and-Roll a good first 5K?

It is a small race (52 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 CadeSTRONG 5K Run-and-Roll?

The 5K winner ran 19:38 while the median finisher took 31:24. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
