About the Patrolman Samuel Irvin Legacy 5K Run/Walk
The course runs on the paved Kinkora Trail through Mansfield Twp. Park, moving between wooded stretches and open preserved farmland. It is a road-surface route on what sounds like a largely flat trail corridor, where the scenery changes as you go. The race honors a young patrolman and athlete lost to a rare heart condition, and that purpose is felt throughout the event.
Proceeds support student-athlete scholarships at a local high school and a foundation for law enforcement families, and the race also carries a mission to raise awareness of Brugada Syndrome. The Irvin and Santucci families organize it themselves, and that personal investment shows in how the event is described.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Patrolman Samuel Irvin Legacy 5K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Sep 23, 2026.
