About the Liberty Bell 5k Fun Run

The course starts at Veterans Park and follows the Marsh Creek Trail out and back, passing through Creekside Park along the way. The trail is paved and runs alongside the creek, so it stays shaded and relatively flat. Strollers are welcome as long as an adult is pushing, which makes it practical for families.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at Fleet Feet in Brentwood, with race-morning pickup available as well. The start area is at Veterans Park. Strollers enter from the back of the corral, and pets are not permitted on the course.

Common Questions About the Liberty Bell 5k Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Liberty Bell 5k Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:18, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Liberty Bell 5k Fun Run a good first 5K?

It is a small race (175 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 Liberty Bell 5k Fun Run?

The 5K winner ran 18:38 while the median finisher took 35:18. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
