Common Questions About the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M

Will I finish last at the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 39:34, and the last recorded finisher came in around 56:35, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M a good first 5K?

It is a small race (9 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 Medal Madness 5K, 10K, & 13.1M?

The 5K winner ran 23:31 while the median finisher took 39:34. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
