Common Questions About the Flamingo Day 5K

Will I finish last at the Flamingo Day 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 36:16, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:33:10, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Flamingo Day 5K a good first 5K?

With 972 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. 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 Flamingo Day 5K?

The 5K winner ran 16:42 while the median finisher took 36:16. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the Flamingo Day 5K?

Join a local run club. Rocky Mountain Road Runners, Colorado Harriers, Revolution Running and others in Denver welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
