About the 2nd Annual Dyamond Fitness and Connie Dwyer Foundation: Breast Cancer 5k and Walk

The course crosses a bridge, with a water station on the other side that runners and walkers both pass through. Dogs and strollers are welcome on the shorter walk but not on the main course, which gives the two routes a noticeably different feel. The race benefits a foundation that funds breast-health services for underserved women.

Packet pickup is the day before at Dyamond Fitness on South Livingston Ave., with email-based alternatives if that window does not work. After the race, the group moves to McCloone's Boathouse for food and drinks, and non-runners are welcome there too.

Common Questions About the 2nd Annual Dyamond Fitness and Connie Dwyer Foundation: Breast Cancer 5k and Walk

Will I finish last at the 2nd Annual Dyamond Fitness and Connie Dwyer Foundation: Breast Cancer 5k and Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:09, and the last recorded finisher came in around 56:57, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2nd Annual Dyamond Fitness and Connie Dwyer Foundation: Breast Cancer 5k and Walk a good first 5K?

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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2nd Annual Dyamond Fitness and Connie Dwyer Foundation: Breast Cancer 5k and Walk?

The 5K winner ran 22:59 while the median finisher took 31:09. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
