About the MudHen Brewing Co. IPA 5K & Little Hen Mile

The course runs through Wildwood and finishes back at MudHen Brewing Co., a brewpub that doubles as the race hub. There is a kids' mile after the main race wraps up, so the morning has a loose, multi-event shape. Post-race, the brewery opens its doors for brunch and lunch, and there is a beer trailer outside for those who want to stay in the sun.

Check-in is mandatory and happens in the MudHen parking lot on race morning, with a pre-race party and early check-in held at the brewery patio the evening before. New registrations close shortly before the gun goes off, so pre-registered runners have a bit more breathing room on arrival.

Common Questions About the MudHen Brewing Co. IPA 5K & Little Hen Mile

Will I finish last at the MudHen Brewing Co. IPA 5K & Little Hen Mile?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the MudHen Brewing Co. IPA 5K & Little Hen Mile a good first 5K?

A field of 617 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the MudHen Brewing Co. IPA 5K & Little Hen Mile?

The 5K winner ran 14:59 while the median finisher took 30:42. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
