Common Questions About the New Year 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Bel Air, MD (01)

Will I finish last at the New Year 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Bel Air, MD (01)?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:44, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the New Year 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Bel Air, MD (01) a good first 5K?

It is a small race (42 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the New Year 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Bel Air, MD (01)?

The 5K winner ran 18:57 while the median finisher took 37:44. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
