About the May Day 5K & Family Fun Day!
The course runs out and back along the Cheshire Rail Trail, starting and finishing at the Cheshire Children's Museum. Rail trails tend to be smooth and open, with no real climbing to speak of. A kids' distance option shares the same start area, turning around closer to the museum than the full route does.
The museum is the hub of the morning. After the race, there are free activities, food, and community sponsor booths on site. Families with younger kids can walk into the museum at any point that day, no reservation needed.

May Day 5K & Family Fun Day! 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 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 May Day 5K & Family Fun Day! has been held every year since at least 2026. 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 13, 2026.
