About the Footprints for Fatima

The race starts and finishes at the St. Ignatius Hall Clock Tower on campus, then winds through the surrounding neighborhood. It is a fundraiser for the Fatima Family Center and its Thanksgiving food drive, organized by a social justice scholars program, so the cause is woven into the morning rather than being a footnote.

Check-in is at the Clock Tower before the start, so everything is in one place. The campus setting keeps parking and logistics straightforward for anyone who has been to a college event before.

Common Questions About the Footprints for Fatima

Will I finish last at the Footprints for Fatima?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 27:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 35:41, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Footprints for Fatima a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (50 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 Footprints for Fatima?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:06 while the median finisher took 27:00. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
