About the Kenilworth Memorial Day 3.5k (2.2 Mile) Run / Walk

The course runs through tree-lined residential streets and is flat throughout. It is tied to Kenilworth's Memorial Day festivities, so neighbors tend to line the route, and a kids run follows the main event. Strollers are welcome, and the whole thing has the feel of a block party that happens to have a starting line.

The race starts and finishes in front of the Metra train station, which makes it straightforward to find and easy for spectators to stake out a spot. Stick around after the run and the kids race, the broader Memorial Day festivities continue in town.

Common Questions About the Kenilworth Memorial Day 3.5k (2.2 Mile) Run / Walk

Will I finish last at the Kenilworth Memorial Day 3.5k (2.2 Mile) Run / Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 20:58, and the last recorded finisher came in around 39:05, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Kenilworth Memorial Day 3.5k (2.2 Mile) Run / Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (81 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Kenilworth Memorial Day 3.5k (2.2 Mile) Run / Walk?

The 5K winner ran 11:47 while the median finisher took 20:58. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
