About the OLUSTEE Blue/Grey 5K
The course loops Lake Desoto and winds through historic neighborhoods near downtown Lake City. It runs mostly on paved roads with some sidewalk stretches, and the terrain stays flat throughout. The surroundings give it a sense of place, passing through streets that feel like they belong to a real neighborhood rather than a park course.
The start and finish line sits on a street just outside a former brewery, which makes it easy to orient yourself. Packet pickup runs the evening before at a nearby pavilion, with a second window opening early on race morning near the start. The overall award ceremony takes place on a stage shortly after the race wraps up, as part of a larger festival already underway.

OLUSTEE Blue/Grey 5K 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The OLUSTEE Blue/Grey 5K 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 Nov 12, 2026.
