About the Faith in Motion 5k Run/Walk & 1 Mile Fun Run

The course runs along the Ohio River Greenway Trail, starting and finishing at the New Albany Amphitheater. It is a road race on a paved trail beside the river, out and back in shape, which means you can see other runners coming toward you on the return leg. A couple of hydration stations are spaced along the way. The surroundings are open and flat, with the river nearby.

Packet pickup and race-day registration happen on the morning of the race, in the window before the start. There are light snacks and conversation at the finish. Strollers are welcome on the course, though runners have the right of way.

Common Questions About the Faith in Motion 5k Run/Walk & 1 Mile Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Faith in Motion 5k Run/Walk & 1 Mile Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:18, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:33, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Faith in Motion 5k Run/Walk & 1 Mile Fun Run a good first 5K?

It is a small race (57 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 Faith in Motion 5k Run/Walk & 1 Mile Fun Run?

The 5K winner ran 19:32 while the median finisher took 35:18. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
