About the 4th Annual Clayton-Henry NPHC 5K Fun Run/Walk

The course runs through Clayton International Park, a setting that reads more like a nature outing than a road race. The route is described as scenic, so expect park surroundings rather than pavement-lined streets. The Clayton-Henry NPHC puts this on to fund scholarships for local youth, so the crowd tends to be people who care about that mission as much as the finish line.

Parking is free at the race site, with overflow parking and a shuttle available if the main lot fills. Check-in opens early in the morning and closes before the warm-up, so arriving with time to spare matters. A live DJ runs a pre-race dance warm-up at the start area.

Common Questions About the 4th Annual Clayton-Henry NPHC 5K Fun Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the 4th Annual Clayton-Henry NPHC 5K Fun Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.54 Miles field finished slower than 1:00:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:25:06, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 4th Annual Clayton-Henry NPHC 5K Fun Run/Walk a good first 3.54 Miles?

It is a small race (142 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 3.54 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 4th Annual Clayton-Henry NPHC 5K Fun Run/Walk?

The 3.54 Miles winner ran 29:39 while the median finisher took 1:00:54. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
