About the Delta Sigma Pi Michael Hayes 5K

The race is held at Leonard Howell Park and benefits a scholarship fund created in memory of a fraternity brother lost to cancer. The scholarship supports students at a nearby university who are managing serious illnesses while staying in school, covering things like transportation to class and medical appointments. The cause is specific and the connection to the race is real.

Check-in opens well before the start, giving you time to settle in before the pre-race music and raffle baskets get going. Everything runs from the park venue, so there is no split between a pickup location and a start line. Registration is handled online ahead of race day.

Common Questions About the Delta Sigma Pi Michael Hayes 5K

Will I finish last at the Delta Sigma Pi Michael Hayes 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 52:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:09, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Delta Sigma Pi Michael Hayes 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (154 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.

How competitive is the Delta Sigma Pi Michael Hayes 5K?

The 5K winner ran 19:26 while the median finisher took 52:12. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
