About the 46th Annual FWRC J.P. Jones Just Plain 10k Run/Walk, 3.3k Run/Walk

The course follows the paved path through Foster Park, then continues out and back on the paved trail south of the park. It is a flat, straightforward route through a familiar green space, and the race honors a longtime Fort Wayne Running Club member, so the morning has a personal feel to it.

Packet pickup and day-of registration happen at the park pavilion before the start. The post-race breakfast picnic is a real spread, with fruit, baked goods, cereal, yogurt, granola, trail mix, and milk. Runners are also encouraged to bring a wrapped donation for local organizations in the area.

Common Questions About the 46th Annual FWRC J.P. Jones Just Plain 10k Run/Walk, 3.3k Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the 46th Annual FWRC J.P. Jones Just Plain 10k Run/Walk, 3.3k Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 10K field finished slower than 1:01:29, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:06:24, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 46th Annual FWRC J.P. Jones Just Plain 10k Run/Walk, 3.3k Run/Walk a good first 10K?

It is a small race (81 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 10K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 46th Annual FWRC J.P. Jones Just Plain 10k Run/Walk, 3.3k Run/Walk?

The 10K winner ran 38:26 while the median finisher took 1:01:29. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
