About the Judge Freeman Marr Panther Pride 5K

The course runs through Bartlett and honors a local judge and coach whose name the race carries. It draws families, and strollers are welcome at the back of the pack. The finish drops you right at the Bartlett Festival, which is already underway nearby.

Common Questions About the Judge Freeman Marr Panther Pride 5K

Will I finish last at the Judge Freeman Marr Panther Pride 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5000m field finished slower than 34:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 56:00, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Judge Freeman Marr Panther Pride 5K a good first 5000m?

It is a small race (75 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 5000m, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Judge Freeman Marr Panther Pride 5K?

The 5000m winner ran 21:24 while the median finisher took 34:57. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
