About the Ormond Beach Police Athletic League Donut Dash 5K

The course starts and finishes at the back of a shopping center, then winds through a couple of residential neighborhoods nearby. It is a road race through quiet streets, and Krispy Kreme donut stations are set up along the way, which tells you something about the tone of the morning.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at the PAL House on Central Avenue. Race-morning check-in opens an hour before the start at the shopping center. Age group awards go deep across the board, and the race benefits local Police Athletic League youth programs.

Common Questions About the Ormond Beach Police Athletic League Donut Dash 5K

Will I finish last at the Ormond Beach Police Athletic League Donut Dash 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 38:16, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Ormond Beach Police Athletic League Donut Dash 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 297 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 Ormond Beach Police Athletic League Donut Dash 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:12 while the median finisher took 38:16. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
