About the FLAG CITY 5K

This is a road race that winds through downtown Findlay, so you get a real look at the city on foot rather than circling a park. The surroundings are urban and flat, with streets opening up around you as you go. It reads like a neighborhood tour more than a track workout.

Parking is available in the Marathon Petroleum garage nearby, along with other public spots around downtown. After you finish, Findlay Brewing Co. has beer on hand for those who want it, and there is physical therapy available on site if anything needs attention.

Common Questions About the FLAG CITY 5K

Will I finish last at the FLAG CITY 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:35, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:32, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the FLAG CITY 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 264 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the FLAG CITY 5K?

The 5K winner ran 16:36 while the median finisher took 31:35. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
