About the Chilly Willy 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Albuquerque
The course is flat throughout, which makes it a good morning for anyone chasing a personal best. Depending on which distance you enter, you are either running an out-and-back, a couple of loops, or a few loops of the same stretch. Self-serve water stations are spaced out along the route, so if you plan to push hard, bringing your own hydration is worth considering.
Packet pickup opens on race morning about an hour before the start, so you do not need to make a separate trip the day before. An earlier pickup option the evening before has been offered in the past and may appear again, so it is worth checking before race day.

The Chilly Willy 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Albuquerque has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 Sep 10, 2026.
