About the Flippin' 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

The race starts and finishes at an indoor sports complex on the edge of Williamsburg. It raises money for a local gymnastics program, and that crowd tends to show up: parents, coaches, young athletes cheering from the sidelines. The setting is a sports facility with open surroundings and room for a fast, straightforward route.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at the same complex, with a second window on race morning before the start. Both options are at the venue itself, so there is no separate trip across town.

Common Questions About the Flippin' 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Flippin' 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Flippin' 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (80 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 Flippin' 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 22:41 while the median finisher took 34:00. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
