Common Questions About the Hometown Half Marathon/5K/10K - Bentonville

Will I finish last at the Hometown Half Marathon/5K/10K - Bentonville?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 36:05, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:07, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Hometown Half Marathon/5K/10K - Bentonville a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (93 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Hometown Half Marathon/5K/10K - Bentonville?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:27 while the median finisher took 36:05. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
