About the Cole Borges Moon & Stars 5k

The race goes off in the evening at Mere Sports Complex on Caverns Road, so you are running under a darkening sky rather than in the heat of the day. It honors a Marianna High School cross-country runner who loved the stars, and that context sits quietly over the whole event. Food trucks are on site after you finish.

Registration opens on site before the start, and food truck vendors are there throughout the evening, which gives the finish area a bit of life after runners come in.

Common Questions About the Cole Borges Moon & Stars 5k

Will I finish last at the Cole Borges Moon & Stars 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 38:35, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:13, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Cole Borges Moon & Stars 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (47 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Cole Borges Moon & Stars 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 22:18 while the median finisher took 38:35. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
