About the Heppe Chiropractic 15K & 5K

The route follows the river, cuts through the old downtown streets, and picks up a heritage trail and canal path before looping back to Riverfront Park on Sophia Street. The surface changes as the course moves between trail and pavement, so the footing shifts throughout. Both distance options cover the same general ground.

Parking is available at the start. Riverfront Park sits right on the water, so the finish area opens up naturally for spectators and post-race lingering.

Common Questions About the Heppe Chiropractic 15K & 5K

Will I finish last at the Heppe Chiropractic 15K & 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:11, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Heppe Chiropractic 15K & 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (101 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 Heppe Chiropractic 15K & 5K?

The 5K winner ran 20:13 while the median finisher took 35:54. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
