About the OUTRUN ADDICTION 5K

The course is USATF certified and the race benefits local addiction awareness organizations. Age group awards cover a wide spread of divisions, and team categories add another layer of competition beyond individual finishing place. The virtual option lets people participate from wherever they are, with results tracked separately from the in-person field.

Registration and packet pickup open early on race morning at the Enfield Educational Annex, where parking is available on site. Post-race awards follow within an hour or so of the start, keeping the morning tight and the timeline predictable.

Common Questions About the OUTRUN ADDICTION 5K

Will I finish last at the OUTRUN ADDICTION 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:31, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the OUTRUN ADDICTION 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 333 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 OUTRUN ADDICTION 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:58 while the median finisher took 35:00. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
