About the Gabby Petito 5k Run & Walk

This race is organized by the Gabby Petito Foundation and raises money for domestic violence awareness and missing persons resources. The course runs through Blue Point, and the morning closes with a post-race gathering at a local bar called Bodhi's, where people stick around to share the reason they came out.

Packet pickup is available race morning at the check-in area, with a window that closes before the start. Bring your confirmation, digital or printed, and if someone else is picking up your bib, they will need a copy of your ID along with that confirmation.

Common Questions About the Gabby Petito 5k Run & Walk

Will I finish last at the Gabby Petito 5k Run & Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 38:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:10:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Gabby Petito 5k Run & Walk a good first race?

A field of 259 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Gabby Petito 5k Run & Walk?

The race winner ran 19:01 while the median finisher took 38:59. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
