About the Caleb's Corner Charities Annual 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk/Fun Run

The race takes place at Alice B. McCullough Field in Laurel, and the proceeds support health and educational programs, including a library project and a medical center in Ghana. The course is chip-timed for the longer distance, and the morning runs rain or shine, so the weather is never a reason to stay home.

Packet pickup opens before the start, so there is no need to scramble the day before. After finishing, there is water, fruit, and fruit snacks at the field. Age group and overall awards go to the top finishers in the longer distance.

Common Questions About the Caleb's Corner Charities Annual 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk/Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Caleb's Corner Charities Annual 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk/Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:31, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:11:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Caleb's Corner Charities Annual 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk/Fun Run a good first 5K?

It is a small race (78 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 Caleb's Corner Charities Annual 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk/Fun Run?

The 5K winner ran 18:14 while the median finisher took 34:31. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
