7 Miles

About the ORRRC Stillwater 7 Miler

The course runs through Stillwater Prairie Reserve, a couple of loops on mostly dirt and mulched trails with some gravel and open meadow sections in between. The real character of this one comes from the river crossings, where the Stillwater River comes up to about mid-calf, so expect wet feet early and plan accordingly. It is genuinely trail running, not a groomed path.

Parking is inside the park, just past the entrance and to the left toward the Big Bluestem Shelter. Runners are encouraged to arrive well before the start to check in and collect a timing chip at the green-tablecloth table. Carrying your own water is strongly recommended, though there is an unmanned water station partway through each loop.

Common Questions About the ORRRC Stillwater 7 Miler

Will I finish last at the ORRRC Stillwater 7 Miler?

Almost certainly not. Half the 7 Miles field finished slower than 1:10:23, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:38:34, 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 Stillwater 7 Miler a good first 7 Miles?

It is a small race (57 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 7 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the ORRRC Stillwater 7 Miler?

The 7 Miles winner ran 47:04 while the median finisher took 1:10:23. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
