Common Questions About the Henry's Thanksgiving Day Hustle 5K & 1/2 Mile Kids Dash

Will I finish last at the Henry's Thanksgiving Day Hustle 5K & 1/2 Mile Kids Dash?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:34, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:34, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Henry's Thanksgiving Day Hustle 5K & 1/2 Mile Kids Dash a good first 5K?

A field of 595 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 Henry's Thanksgiving Day Hustle 5K & 1/2 Mile Kids Dash?

The 5K winner ran 15:30 while the median finisher took 33:34. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
