About the JANET R. NOBLITT MOSQUITO CHASE 5K

The race runs through Hutsonville Park, a setting that fits the small-town morning it draws. The name is honest: it is summer, it is Illinois, and the mosquitoes are real. Proceeds from the entry fees go toward a scholarship given each spring to a graduating senior or alumnus from the local high school, so the race has a clear purpose behind it.

Raffles and music are part of the post-race scene, and the atmosphere leans toward neighbors catching up rather than a hard-charging finish-line crowd. The start is at the park on the south end of town.

Common Questions About the JANET R. NOBLITT MOSQUITO CHASE 5K

Will I finish last at the JANET R. NOBLITT MOSQUITO CHASE 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:30, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:43, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the JANET R. NOBLITT MOSQUITO CHASE 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (41 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the JANET R. NOBLITT MOSQUITO CHASE 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:09 while the median finisher took 32:30. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
