About the Let's Grow Together 5K - Powered by CRECE
The course follows trails around Lake Artemesia, tracing the waterfront through mostly open, flat terrain. It reads as a trail race, though the surface stays accessible throughout. The start and finish are both anchored at the ice rink parking lot on Campus Drive, which also serves as the main gathering area before and after the race.
Packet pickup happens the morning of the race in that same lot, alongside same-day registration. The start is staggered into waves by pace, so runners go first and walkers follow at their own interval. Food vendors and a sponsor village are set up in the hub area, and there are wellness activities and a post-race gathering on site.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Let's Grow Together 5K - Powered by CRECE has been held every year since at least 2026. 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 25, 2026.
