About the Eden Autism 5K & Fun Run/Walk

The course starts and finishes in front of the Eden School, and both the timed option and the shorter untimed walk branch off from the same spot. The race benefits Eden Autism's services for people with autism across all stages of life. There is a festival area open from the morning, so the finish area has some activity around it beyond just runners crossing the line.

Common Questions About the Eden Autism 5K & Fun Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Eden Autism 5K & Fun Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 33:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:04, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Eden Autism 5K & Fun Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 423 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Eden Autism 5K & Fun Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:06 while the median finisher took 33:46. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
