About the Impact Road Race 5K
The course runs on open roads through Oak Mountain State Park, so expect real pavement with traffic still moving alongside you. The race is USATF-certified, which means the distances are measured properly and times here can count toward qualifying for other certified events. Several distance options make it work for a range of goals on the same morning.
The start area opens well before the gun for packet pickup, so there is no scramble if you arrive early. Post-race, a local nonprofit called Seeds of Impact is the reason the event exists; it supports mothers in recovery through parenting education, so the gathering at the finish tends to feel purposeful rather than purely athletic.

The Impact Road Race 5K has been held every year since at least 2023. 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.
