White Lake, MI
The race takes place at Indian Springs Metropark, threading through parkland that fits the season well. The course offers a couple of distance options, so runners choosing a longer morning share the grounds with those out for a shorter effort. The whole thing is built around a coffee theme, timed to land on national coffee day.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 38:58, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:28, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (172 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 21:17 while the median finisher took 38:58. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
