About the CTHS Music on the Lake 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

Both courses start and finish inside the high school's stadium. The timed distance winds past the band hall and school buildings before picking up a lake trail, while the shorter fun run heads out to the trailhead and turns back. The terrain is a mix of campus paths and a lakeside trail, without any significant elevation to worry about.

Packet pickup opens well before the start in the morning. The school's own band performs live near the finish, and hot chocolate and refreshments are out after you cross. Parking and the start area are on campus, so everything stays close together.

Common Questions About the CTHS Music on the Lake 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

Will I finish last at the CTHS Music on the Lake 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:10, and the last recorded finisher came in around 45:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the CTHS Music on the Lake 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (40 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 CTHS Music on the Lake 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:32 while the median finisher took 32:10. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
