About the Mebane Dogwood Festival Family 5K
This is an evening race through downtown Mebane, held as part of the Dogwood Festival. Running at night through a downtown in full festival mode means live music, food vendors, and carnival rides are all going around you. The course carries USATF certification. A kids dash to a nearby elementary school and back runs just before the main race.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at a physical therapy office on Mebane Oaks Road, near a Lowes Foods. On race day, pickup opens at the start and finish area in front of Mebane Laundry and Dry Cleaners. Parking downtown is tight; an overflow lot on Center Street is an option worth knowing about before you drive in.

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 Mebane Dogwood Festival Family 5K has been held every year since at least 2015. 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 Oct 18, 2026.
