Next year's date is not listed yet. This page updates when it is.
The course winds through Pulaski County Park, mixing trail with creek crossings, open cross-country stretches, and a short paved section. The terrain shifts enough that no single stretch feels the same, and the creek or dry lake bed crossings add a little uncertainty depending on what the weather has done recently.

Going by the 2025 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 Little Batty Trail Runs 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 25, 2026.
Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 45:28, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:26:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (39 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.
The 5K winner ran 23:39 while the median finisher took 45:28. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
