About the KDB Melanoma 5k Run/Walk

The course runs through Kensington Metropark, a large natural area west of Milford with trails and open land that give the route a parkland feel rather than an urban one. The race is held in memory of a woman named Kathy, and the group behind it has been running it long enough that a real community has built up around the event. The crowd tends to reflect that history.

Common Questions About the KDB Melanoma 5k Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the KDB Melanoma 5k Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 31:19, and the last recorded finisher came in around 51:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the KDB Melanoma 5k Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (49 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 KDB Melanoma 5k Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 21:06 while the median finisher took 31:19. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
