About the Davidson Doozie 5k & 10k

The course loops through Lexington, starting and finishing at the county health department on Greensboro Street. The longer distance option runs that loop twice. The surroundings are neighborhood streets, and the race benefits survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in the area, which gives the morning a sense of purpose beyond the running itself.

The start and finish are at the Davidson County Health Department, so parking and staging are centered there. The health department location gives the start area a clear, practical anchor for finding your way on race morning.

Common Questions About the Davidson Doozie 5k & 10k

Will I finish last at the Davidson Doozie 5k & 10k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:16:21, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Davidson Doozie 5k & 10k a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (33 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 Davidson Doozie 5k & 10k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 21:45 while the median finisher took 34:46. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
