About the Orange Peel to Pavement

The race takes place at Thomas Bull Memorial Park, starting and finishing near the day camp area off Grove Street. The course is a standard road distance on pavement, flat enough to suit most paces. The event is put on by a local sorority chapter raising money for mental health awareness and college scholarships for Orange County high school seniors.

Post-race there is food and music at the park. The GPS address for the day camp entrance differs from the park's main address, so it is worth saving the Grove Street directions before you leave home.

Common Questions About the Orange Peel to Pavement

Will I finish last at the Orange Peel to Pavement?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3 Miles field finished slower than 59:11, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:08, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Orange Peel to Pavement a good first 3 Miles?

It is a small race (16 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Orange Peel to Pavement?

The 3 Miles winner ran 28:26 while the median finisher took 59:11. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
