About the Mooreland Free Fair 5K Run and Walk

The race starts and finishes at a county fairgrounds, right on the main road just south of a US highway that cuts through town. Both the run and walk divisions are timed and competitive, with age group awards alongside overall prizes. The setting is open and flat, the kind of ground a fairgrounds sits on, with the start line directly out front.

Parking is ample at the fairgrounds itself. Check-in happens race morning before the start, and awards follow not long after the last finisher comes in.

Common Questions About the Mooreland Free Fair 5K Run and Walk

Will I finish last at the Mooreland Free Fair 5K Run and Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 28:31, and the last recorded finisher came in around 53:22, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Mooreland Free Fair 5K Run and Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (100 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 Mooreland Free Fair 5K Run and Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:31 while the median finisher took 28:31. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
