About the Harvest 5K

The course runs through the grounds of a religious organization's headquarters on the edge of a small rural town. The terrain is the kind you find in that part of the state, open and relatively flat, with fall harvest season as the backdrop. Children's races run alongside the main event, keeping the morning busy across age groups.

After finishing, there are food trucks on site, live music, and light snacks for runners. The post-race atmosphere is organized around the host organization's community, so expect a full morning rather than a quick out-and-back.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Harvest 5K

Will I finish last at the Harvest 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:13, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Harvest 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 231 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 Harvest 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:56 while the median finisher took 42:13. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
