About the Hit the Staxx 10K/5K

The race starts and finishes at Revolution Mill, under the three smokestacks that define the skyline there. Both courses head out onto the greenway, but they split into separate routes, so the longer distance isn't just a repeat of the shorter one. The shorter course is genuinely flat, which is rare for a road race routed through city streets.

Parking is in the large lot off Yanceyville Street and Textile Drive, and a walkable bridge connects it directly to the start area under the smokestacks. The post-race party sets up right there beneath them after the final wave finishes.

Common Questions About the Hit the Staxx 10K/5K

Will I finish last at the Hit the Staxx 10K/5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Hit the Staxx 10K/5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (143 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 Hit the Staxx 10K/5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:40 while the median finisher took 32:54. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
