About the CHARACTER COUNTS! in St. Johns County Six Pillars 6K/3K Run/Walk

The race starts and finishes at an elementary school campus, with both a shorter and a longer distance option on the course. The setting is a neighborhood in St. Augustine, so expect a route that feels more suburban than scenic, with the school grounds anchoring the start and finish area.

Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at the race site itself, with a second window on race morning before the start. Awards cover overall, masters, and age group winners across both distance options, and results are posted on-site and online during the race.

Common Questions About the CHARACTER COUNTS! in St. Johns County Six Pillars 6K/3K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the CHARACTER COUNTS! in St. Johns County Six Pillars 6K/3K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3K field finished slower than 23:07, and the last recorded finisher came in around 45:18, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the CHARACTER COUNTS! in St. Johns County Six Pillars 6K/3K Run/Walk a good first 3K?

A field of 218 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the CHARACTER COUNTS! in St. Johns County Six Pillars 6K/3K Run/Walk?

The 3K winner ran 11:28 while the median finisher took 23:07. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
