About the Olé 5K Benefit Race

The Olé 5K raises money for a nonprofit hospital and partner organizations serving impoverished communities in Oaxaca, so the entry fee goes somewhere specific. The race has been running long enough to have a real following in Allison Park, and the in-person and virtual options mean people outside the area can take part too.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local running and cycling shop, which is also the listed pickup point for virtual participants. Grabbing your packet there rather than race morning is strongly encouraged, and you can pick up for a friend while you are at it.

Common Questions About the Olé 5K Benefit Race

Will I finish last at the Olé 5K Benefit Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:56, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Olé 5K Benefit Race a good first 5K?

A field of 367 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 Olé 5K Benefit Race?

The 5K winner ran 0:03 while the median finisher took 30:56. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
