About the Evansville Labor Day Run/Walk 5K/10K/15K

The race starts at Lamasco Park and sends runners out on an out-and-back course, with shorter distances completing fewer loops and the longest distance covering the most ground. The terrain reads as a straightforward road or path route with a water stop partway out. Several distance options make it easy to run as much or as little as you want that morning.

Packet pickup the day before is at Roca Bar on Washington Ave, with a race-morning window near the start line available as well. The awards ceremony runs shortly after the last finishers come in, with category placements announced before anyone collects hardware.

Common Questions About the Evansville Labor Day Run/Walk 5K/10K/15K

Will I finish last at the Evansville Labor Day Run/Walk 5K/10K/15K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:16:32, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Evansville Labor Day Run/Walk 5K/10K/15K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (115 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 Evansville Labor Day Run/Walk 5K/10K/15K?

The 5K winner ran 18:04 while the median finisher took 33:57. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
