Common Questions About the HOPE's 16th Annual Sham Rock N Run 5k

Will I finish last at the HOPE's 16th Annual Sham Rock N Run 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 42:18, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:22:42, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the HOPE's 16th Annual Sham Rock N Run 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 416 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 HOPE's 16th Annual Sham Rock N Run 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:17 while the median finisher took 42:18. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
