Common Questions About the Heatwave Half Marathon/5K/10K - St. Louis

Will I finish last at the Heatwave Half Marathon/5K/10K - St. Louis?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:12:49, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:22:30, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Heatwave Half Marathon/5K/10K - St. Louis a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (129 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 Heatwave Half Marathon/5K/10K - St. Louis?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:29:17 while the median finisher took 2:12:49. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.

Where can I train for the Heatwave Half Marathon/5K/10K - St. Louis?

Join a local run club. Achilles St. Louis, Big Hump Hash House Harriers, Big River Racing and others in St. Louis welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
