About the Earth Day 5k Family Fun Run/Walk
The course loops around Clear Lake and includes an out-and-back stretch on the Chessie Trail, starting and finishing at an amphitheater in a city park. The terrain is park paths and trail, mostly flat near the water. The race benefits the local park foundation, so the surroundings you run through are what the entry fees go toward maintaining.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at the park office, with race-morning pickup available at the amphitheater. A couple of nearby streets close for the race, so plan accordingly. Extra parking sits in the lot off McClung Road, up the hill behind the amphitheater. Water and donuts are at the start line.

Going by the 2026 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.

The Earth Day 5k Family Fun Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
