About the Hoodlebug 5K Run and Fun Walk
The course heads out from a bridge on Main Street and runs mostly on the Hoodlebug Trail, an out-and-back that keeps the route straightforward and easy to follow. The trail surface is the main thing underfoot, and the surrounding area is quiet enough that you notice it. The race runs as part of the town's Fall Festival, so there is activity around the start area beyond just the race itself.
Race-day registration opens in the afternoon at a park on the western edge of town, and that same park anchors the start area. The bridge on Main Street is where the race actually begins, a short walk from the festival grounds. The race runs rain or shine with no deferrals, so plan accordingly.

The Hoodlebug 5K Run and Fun Walk has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 22, 2026.
