About the LECOM 5K and 1-Mile Wellness Walk
The race starts and finishes at the LECOM Medical Fitness & Wellness Center on Peach Street. Runners can choose to be timed or skip the bib entirely and just run for themselves. The course is road-based, and both a shorter walk distance and a full 5K are on offer. Water and bananas are available before and after the race.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the Wellness Center, alongside a race expo with local vendors, free gait assessments from LECOM clinicians, and a shake-out run led by local running shops and clubs. Race-morning pickup is also available, closing out before the start.

The LECOM 5K and 1-Mile Wellness Walk has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 23, 2026.
