About the Flannel 5K / 10K

The course runs through Menomonee Park, a wooded setting that in winter means bare trees, quiet trails, and cold air. The terrain is flat, so the effort is honest and mostly aerobic. The flannel theme gives the starting line a look you do not see at most races, with plenty of plaid on display before anyone has warmed up.

Hot chocolate is waiting at the finish, which helps after a cold morning in the park. The race is part of a regional winter series, so you may see familiar faces from other cold-weather events on the course.

Common Questions About the Flannel 5K / 10K

Will I finish last at the Flannel 5K / 10K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Flannel 5K / 10K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (149 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 Flannel 5K / 10K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:55 while the median finisher took 32:00. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
