About the Eagle Pride 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk

The course runs through Wickham Park, a shaded green space in Melbourne. The race benefits a local Catholic school's booster fund, so the crowd skews toward school families. Both a short one-mile option and a longer distance are on offer, along with a combined challenge format for those who want to do both.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a local running store, then again that evening at the school itself. Race-morning pickup opens early, with a cutoff before each wave. Awards and raffle prizes follow immediately after the last runners finish.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly 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 Eagle Pride 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Eagle Pride 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 1 Miles field finished slower than 12:36, and the last recorded finisher came in around 24:13, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Eagle Pride 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk a good first 1 Miles?

A field of 232 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 1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Eagle Pride 5K & 1 Mile Run/Walk?

The 1 Miles winner ran 5:13 while the median finisher took 12:36. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
