The course winds through a university campus and the adjacent academy grounds, so expect smooth paths, open stretches, and the kind of terrain that tends to pull runners along. The race honors a specific person, and that purpose sits close to the surface of the morning. A shorter distance option runs alongside the main event.

Going by the 2025 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 Micah Rine Wildcat Legacy 5k - Final Lap has been held every year since at least 2018. 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 25, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:52, and the last recorded finisher came in around 56:10, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
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.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:37 while the median finisher took 32:52. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
