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.

The Fiddler 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
