San Antonio, TX
The course runs through the grounds of the San Antonio Police Training Academy, a campus setting that keeps things flat with a few turns through the interior roads. There is no chip timing and no awards ceremony, so the focus is on moving together rather than racing. A finish-line clock is there if you want to check your time.

Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 45:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:25:04, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 422 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.
The 5K winner ran 17:23 while the median finisher took 45:51. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
