About the Candy Cane 5K Run
The course winds through residential subdivisions and into downtown Stevensville on paved roads, staying mostly flat throughout. It is held in winter, so expect cold air and possibly snow underfoot. Costumes are part of the scene, with plenty of people in ugly sweaters, elf hats, and blinking lights, which makes the atmosphere feel more like a neighborhood parade than a plain road race.
The race starts and finishes at St. Paul's Lutheran School, where the gym stays open for packet pickup the evening before and again on race morning. Awards are handed out inside the gym afterward, so there is a warm place to wait while results are posted.

The Candy Cane 5K Run has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
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 Nov 12, 2026.
