About the CMH Heroes for Hospice Race

This race supports hospice care in the community and leans hard into its annual theme. This year it is wizard-themed, so costumes are a genuine part of the morning, not an afterthought. Several distance options are available, from a short fun run up to a longer route, and the organizers note that the longest course is better suited to runners than walkers.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before the race at an outdoor pavilion at the hospital. The course has a cutoff time, so walkers choosing longer distances should plan accordingly.

Common Questions About the CMH Heroes for Hospice Race

Will I finish last at the CMH Heroes for Hospice Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 28:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 47:34, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the CMH Heroes for Hospice Race a good first race?

It is a small race (125 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 race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the CMH Heroes for Hospice Race?

The race winner ran 14:57 while the median finisher took 28:59. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
