About the ORRRC Cross Country Trail 5k

The course runs through Grant Park on trails, so expect dirt underfoot rather than pavement. It is a cross country format, which means the terrain will do some of the work for you. Parking is at Watts Middle School on McEwen Road, a short walk from the start area.

Check-in opens well before the gun, and the table with the green tablecloth is where you pick up your timing chip and attach it to a shoe before you line up. Registration can be handled on race morning if needed, either on a device or on paper.

Common Questions About the ORRRC Cross Country Trail 5k

Will I finish last at the ORRRC Cross Country Trail 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the ORRRC Cross Country Trail 5k a good first 5K?

It is a small race (73 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the ORRRC Cross Country Trail 5k?

The 5K winner ran 18:47 while the median finisher took 31:43. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
