About the 2026 Good Shepherd Catholic Church International Festival 5K & Fun Run
This race is tied to a church's international festival, so the atmosphere around the start and finish reflects that, with the broader event happening nearby. The course is a standard road distance through the area around the church.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the church's main entrance, with race-morning pickup available as well for those who cannot make that window. The start area is right at the church.

The 2026 Good Shepherd Catholic Church International Festival 5K & Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 22, 2026.
