About the 25th Annual Leatherneck Run

The course starts at the main entrance to a Baptist church and winds through the surrounding neighborhood streets. It is a straightforward road race through a residential area, with no significant elevation to worry about. Age group awards go deep into the field, so there is real competition for placings across a wide range of runners.

Parking is on the west side of the church entrance. Packet pickup runs the evening before at a nearby location, with race-morning pickup available before the opening ceremony.

Common Questions About the 25th Annual Leatherneck Run

Will I finish last at the 25th Annual Leatherneck Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:15, and the last recorded finisher came in around 56:29, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 25th Annual Leatherneck Run a good first 5K?

It is a small race (83 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 25th Annual Leatherneck Run?

The 5K winner ran 17:29 while the median finisher took 31:15. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
