About the Lumbee Tribe of NC Fall Festival 5k and Fun Run

This race is part of a fall festival, which gives the morning a different feel than a standalone road race. The course runs from a single address in Maxton, and the event includes both a timed run and a shorter untimed walk option. Age group awards span a wide range, from the youngest finishers to the oldest, with overall prizes as well.

Packet pickup runs the morning of the race before the start, so there is no need to make a separate trip the day before. The start area is at a street address rather than a park or trail head, putting you right in the middle of the festival activity.

Common Questions About the Lumbee Tribe of NC Fall Festival 5k and Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Lumbee Tribe of NC Fall Festival 5k and Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 27:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 47:02, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Lumbee Tribe of NC Fall Festival 5k and Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (49 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Lumbee Tribe of NC Fall Festival 5k and Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:31 while the median finisher took 27:59. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
