About the OADAY 5K / REMEMBRANCE WALK

South County Regional Park is the setting, a park in Punta Gorda with enough open space to lay out a chip-timed course. The race pairs a competitive run with a remembrance walk that starts afterward, so the morning has two distinct purposes: racing and honoring. The crowd reflects that, and the atmosphere shifts noticeably between the two.

Packet pickup happens the evening before and again on race morning at the park. Awards go deep across age groups, with overall and masters categories recognized separately.

Common Questions About the OADAY 5K / REMEMBRANCE WALK

Will I finish last at the OADAY 5K / REMEMBRANCE WALK?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 39:12, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the OADAY 5K / REMEMBRANCE WALK a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 220 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the OADAY 5K / REMEMBRANCE WALK?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:47 while the median finisher took 39:12. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
