About the Kayla O'Mara Memorial Road Race

The course starts in front of Goodrich High School on Hegel Road and winds through the village before turning out into Atlas Township. There is a water stop at the local fire station along the way, and the route comes back to the school along a paved path, finishing at the school entrance.

Packet pickup runs across several windows before race morning, including an evening at a local running shop and an evening at the school. Race-morning pickup is also available at the rear of the school, near the auditorium entrance.

Common Questions About the Kayla O'Mara Memorial Road Race

Will I finish last at the Kayla O'Mara Memorial Road Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:22, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Kayla O'Mara Memorial Road Race a good first 5K?

A field of 345 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Kayla O'Mara Memorial Road Race?

The 5K winner ran 15:06 while the median finisher took 30:22. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
