About the Locust Elfie 5K Run/Walk
The course runs through the Town Center and into the surrounding neighborhood. The organizer describes it as fast with gentle rolling, so expect mostly flat ground with just enough variation to keep it interesting. Costumes are part of the culture here; runners show up in Christmas gear, and there are prizes for the best-dressed.
Packet pickup runs the day before at a senior center in the Town Center. Race-day pickup is available too, but earlier pickup is encouraged to keep things moving at the start. Parking lots sit behind the Town Center buildings; the organizer asks runners to avoid spaces along the course to keep the route clear for everyone.

The Locust Elfie 5K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2017. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
