About the 2027 Note in the Pocket 5K Rundie & Kids Fun Run
The course runs along the Third Fork Creek Trail, starting and finishing at Southern Boundaries Park. It is a trail route, so expect a natural surface underfoot rather than pavement. The race benefits a local nonprofit that clothes children and families in need, which shapes the feel of the morning.
Packet pickup runs at the nonprofit's own facility on the days before the race, with a race-morning option available at the park. Parking at Southern Boundaries Park is limited, but additional parking is available at the Note in the Pocket building, connected to the park by the same trail you will run.

The 2027 Note in the Pocket 5K Rundie & Kids Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 23, 2026.
