About the 50th Annual Holiday Run and Walk for Health

The Kiwanis and Rotary clubs put this race on together, and a school challenge is built into it, with teams from high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools competing against each other. The race is named in part for a former race director, and that history gives the morning a sense of occasion that goes beyond a typical local run.

Common Questions About the 50th Annual Holiday Run and Walk for Health

Will I finish last at the 50th Annual Holiday Run and Walk for Health?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3 Miles field finished slower than 29:41, and the last recorded finisher came in around 48:21, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 50th Annual Holiday Run and Walk for Health a good first 3 Miles?

It is a small race (86 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 3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 50th Annual Holiday Run and Walk for Health?

The 3 Miles winner ran 19:32 while the median finisher took 29:41. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
