About the Fiddler 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run

The Fiddler 5K runs through downtown Smithville on Church Street, starting in front of a church and finishing near a funeral home a short distance away. The route stays on street the whole way, with official timing and course certification. Strollers are welcome, though they line up toward the back. Pets are not permitted.

Check-in and race-day registration both open before dawn in the parking lot near the finish line. Early packet pickup the evening before takes place at the church on Church Street where the race starts, which keeps things simple if you are already scoping out the course.

Finish-Time Stats

Common Questions About the Fiddler 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Fiddler 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.11 Miles field finished slower than 32:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:40, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Fiddler 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run a good first 3.11 Miles?

A field of 304 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 3.11 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Fiddler 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run?

The 3.11 Miles winner ran 16:09 while the median finisher took 32:12. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
