Common Questions About the 26th Annual Hank Aaron State Trail 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the 26th Annual Hank Aaron State Trail 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:19, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:12:42, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 26th Annual Hank Aaron State Trail 5K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

A field of 506 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 26th Annual Hank Aaron State Trail 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 16:18 while the median finisher took 33:19. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the 26th Annual Hank Aaron State Trail 5K Run/Walk?

Join a local run club. Milwaukee Running Group - OMG, Badgerland Striders, Performance Running Outfitters Group Runs and others in Milwaukee welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
