ECTC Resolution 5K Run

Ashville, AL

Registration openAnnual since at least 2024

About the ECTC Resolution 5K Run

The course starts on a career tech campus, heads out along a county road, loops around a side street, and returns the way it came. It is chip-timed and described as challenging, so expect some real terrain rather than a flat loop. The race benefits career technical education in the county, so the entry fee goes somewhere local and specific.

Registration is open through race morning, closing shortly before the start. After finishing, there are door prizes, music, and vendors on the campus while the field comes in.

Common Questions About the ECTC Resolution 5K Run

Will I finish last at the ECTC Resolution 5K Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:44, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the ECTC Resolution 5K Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (76 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 ECTC Resolution 5K Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:57 while the median finisher took 34:03. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
