About the 3rd Annual LSC Soccer Stride

The course starts at the town green and heads out along a multi-use pathway toward the high school, looping around the track before turning back the same way. It is a road and pathway out-and-back, so you pass oncoming runners on the return. The path rolls downhill on the way out, which means you earn it on the way back. Strollers are welcome.

Parking is behind the main address off Colonel Ledyard Highway, with a second entrance near the Congregational church. A kids fun run starts first at the town green, so arriving early puts you in the middle of that before the main race gets going.

Common Questions About the 3rd Annual LSC Soccer Stride

Will I finish last at the 3rd Annual LSC Soccer Stride?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:05, and the last recorded finisher came in around 51:11, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 3rd Annual LSC Soccer Stride a good first 5K?

It is a small race (45 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 3rd Annual LSC Soccer Stride?

The 5K winner ran 17:48 while the median finisher took 30:05. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
