About the Feed a Veteran 5K

The course runs on the cart paths of a golf course, kept separate from traffic and winding through the grounds rather than going straight. After finishing, runners and volunteers assemble sandwiches, soup, and winter supply kits that get delivered to homeless veterans in the area.

Parking on site is limited, and an offsite lot with a shuttle to the start is available. Packet pickup runs the evening before at a running store, with race-morning pickup at the golf course as well.

Common Questions About the Feed a Veteran 5K

Will I finish last at the Feed a Veteran 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:10:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Feed a Veteran 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (93 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 Feed a Veteran 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 21:12 while the median finisher took 37:42. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
