About the I Love Cats 5k & Meowy Mile
The course runs out and back on a paved trail at ITC Community Sports Park, starting and finishing at the pavilion near the corner of two major roads. It is flat road running the whole way, with no meaningful obstacles. There is a shorter fun run option for kids and families, strollers and wagons welcome.
Packet pickup happens race morning at the pavilion where you start, so there is no separate trip the day before. The park has its own lot right there. Restrooms are at the pavilion, and there is a playground nearby for anyone who brings kids along.

The I Love Cats 5k & Meowy Mile has been held every year since at least 2025. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
