About the Heroes for Hospice 5K Run/Walk

The route loops around a golf course and starts and finishes at an outdoor retailer in the Prairiefire shopping area. The course is designed to accommodate all paces, including strollers and wagons, so expect a range of participants on race morning. Awards go to the top overall finishers and masters runners after the race.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a running store in Mission, with a second window race morning in front of a home goods store at Prairiefire. Both options are worth knowing about if you are coming from out of the area.

Common Questions About the Heroes for Hospice 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Heroes for Hospice 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:06, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:22:38, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Heroes for Hospice 5K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

A field of 306 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 Heroes for Hospice 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 18:08 while the median finisher took 40:06. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
