About the Friends Fall 5K and Fun Run

The course starts at a Friends school and winds through local parks before finishing at a historic trolley barn. The route between the two is short and mostly flat, running along a main street with sidewalks, so the stretch between start and finish is walkable in either direction if you want to sort out parking early.

The finish area at the trolley barn is where the morning opens up. There is food and a café on site, and the town's Halloween parade rolls through later in the day, so families who are not running have plenty to do nearby while they wait. Parking is available at both ends of the course.

Common Questions About the Friends Fall 5K and Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Friends Fall 5K and Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 36:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 46:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Friends Fall 5K and Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (16 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 Friends Fall 5K and Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 21:33 while the median finisher took 36:08. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
