About the College of DuPage 5k & Track Fest

The course runs on road and paved trail around the main campus, with a few short grass crossings in between. It starts and finishes at the college track, so there is a natural focal point for spectators waiting at the end. Strollers and dogs are both welcome, which shapes the feel of the field.

Packet pickup happens at the start area on race day, so there is nothing to collect beforehand. Parking is available right at the start. After the race, there is an alumni party with pizza on site.

Common Questions About the College of DuPage 5k & Track Fest

Will I finish last at the College of DuPage 5k & Track Fest?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 27:10, and the last recorded finisher came in around 48:13, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the College of DuPage 5k & Track Fest a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (31 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 College of DuPage 5k & Track Fest?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:30 while the median finisher took 27:10. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
