About the Dwight Harvest Days 5K & 3K Walk/Fun Run

The course runs through residential streets, flat the whole way, with police managing traffic at intersections. Street markings and signs keep navigation simple, and there are water stops along the way. The race is part of Dwight's weekend Harvest Days Festival, so the town has some activity around it beyond the race itself.

Packet pickup is available the morning of the race at Renfrew Park, with an option the evening before at a park in downtown Dwight. Registration must be completed ahead of time. Post-race refreshments are set up at the finish.

Common Questions About the Dwight Harvest Days 5K & 3K Walk/Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Dwight Harvest Days 5K & 3K Walk/Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 30:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 51:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Dwight Harvest Days 5K & 3K Walk/Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (147 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 Dwight Harvest Days 5K & 3K Walk/Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:52 while the median finisher took 30:26. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
