About the LouAnn Burchfield/Kathy Hannan Hale Colors of Cancer Memorial 5K Color Run/Walk and 1k Kids Fun Runo

The course heads out from a local coffee shop along the Ohio River on roads. It is flat the whole way, with the river alongside for most of the run. Many participants wear colors chosen to represent a specific cancer, honoring someone they lost or are supporting, which gives the morning a personal, quiet weight beneath the brighter moments.

Registration happens at Tri B's the morning of the race, so there is no separate trip the evening before. After the run, the coffee shop stays open and donates a portion of specialty drink sales to the charity benefiting local cancer patients and their families.

Common Questions About the LouAnn Burchfield/Kathy Hannan Hale Colors of Cancer Memorial 5K Color Run/Walk and 1k Kids Fun Runo

Will I finish last at the LouAnn Burchfield/Kathy Hannan Hale Colors of Cancer Memorial 5K Color Run/Walk and 1k Kids Fun Runo?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the LouAnn Burchfield/Kathy Hannan Hale Colors of Cancer Memorial 5K Color Run/Walk and 1k Kids Fun Runo a good first 5K?

It is a small race (65 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 LouAnn Burchfield/Kathy Hannan Hale Colors of Cancer Memorial 5K Color Run/Walk and 1k Kids Fun Runo?

The 5K winner ran 19:39 while the median finisher took 34:12. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
