About the GRAFORD JACKRABBIT 5K RUN

The course in Graford is paved and flat throughout, with a couple of water stops spaced along the way. It runs through town without any real climbing, so you can focus on pace from the start. Refreshments are waiting at the finish, and trophies go to top overall finishers as well as division winners.

Packet pickup and walk-up registration both happen on race morning, wrapping up before the start. There is no need to make a separate trip the day before. Leave the dogs and bikes at home, the organizers are clear about that.

Common Questions About the GRAFORD JACKRABBIT 5K RUN

Will I finish last at the GRAFORD JACKRABBIT 5K RUN?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:00, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the GRAFORD JACKRABBIT 5K RUN a good first 5K?

It is a small race (72 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the GRAFORD JACKRABBIT 5K RUN?

The 5K winner ran 19:15 while the median finisher took 40:46. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
