About the HOOF it for H.A.L.T. 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk

The course runs out from Picnic Island at Riverbend Park, follows the Loxahatchee River through cypress swamps and natural habitat, then turns back the same way. The terrain shifts from paved road to dirt, and the surroundings are genuinely wild. Deer, alligators, otters, spoonbills, and bobcats have all been spotted along the route.

Packet pickup is the evening before at the Riverbend Park main office. On race day, parking directors meet you at the gate and volunteers guide you to the start. After the race, local food vendors and music set up near the finish area, along with raffles and awards.

Common Questions About the HOOF it for H.A.L.T. 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the HOOF it for H.A.L.T. 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:31:53, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the HOOF it for H.A.L.T. 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (160 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 HOOF it for H.A.L.T. 4th Annual 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 18:38 while the median finisher took 37:51. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
