About the Freedom Splash 5k

The Freedom Splash runs through water blasts and sprinklers set up along a road course, so expect to get soaked. It starts and finishes on the track at the high school, looping around the football field. The water features make the pace almost beside the point, and leashed dogs are welcome out there with you.

Packet pickup and race-morning registration both happen on site before the start, so you can arrive the day of without having registered in advance. Plan to get there with enough time to check in and get settled before the gun goes off.

Common Questions About the Freedom Splash 5k

Will I finish last at the Freedom Splash 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:23, and the last recorded finisher came in around 51:48, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Freedom Splash 5k a good first 5K?

It is a small race (97 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Freedom Splash 5k?

The 5K winner ran 16:23 while the median finisher took 33:23. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
