About the Ole Ole 5K - St. Cloud

The Ole Ole 5K leans hard into Día de los Muertos and fiesta themes, running in the evening as the sun goes down. The start and finish pass through a towering Candy Skull structure that is hard to miss. Costumes are part of the point here, with prizes on offer for runners who dress the part.

Post-race has the feel of a street party. Margaritas and tacos are on hand, and there is live entertainment to stick around for. If you are going to do a themed fun run, this one commits fully to the bit.

Common Questions About the Ole Ole 5K - St. Cloud

Will I finish last at the Ole Ole 5K - St. Cloud?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 40:38, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:21:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Ole Ole 5K - St. Cloud a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 538 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 Ole Ole 5K - St. Cloud?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:30 while the median finisher took 40:38. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
