About the Doughnut Day 5K

The Doughnut Day 5K is put on by a local Rotary Club, and the proceeds go toward scholarships for area high school students. The course is a standard road 5K, and the draw is what waits at the finish: doughnuts and coffee, free for everyone who shows up. Strollers and dogs are welcome on the course, and there is a separate kids run after the main race wraps up.

Packet pickup runs at Front Running Sports on the days leading up to the race, with race-morning pickup available at the start site as well. The start area doubles as the finish, where local businesses set up tents and the post-race spread comes out once runners begin finishing.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2026 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Doughnut Day 5K

Will I finish last at the Doughnut Day 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:22, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:52, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Doughnut Day 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 404 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Doughnut Day 5K?

The 5K winner ran 18:56 while the median finisher took 37:22. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
