Common Questions About the Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5K/10K - Greater Chicago

Will I finish last at the Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5K/10K - Greater Chicago?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:06:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:19:08, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5K/10K - Greater Chicago a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (80 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 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5K/10K - Greater Chicago?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:15:19 while the median finisher took 2:06:59. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.

Where can I train for the Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5K/10K - Greater Chicago?

Join a local run club. CARA Run Crew, Second City Track Club, Venados Running Club and others in Chicago welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
