About the Pine Lake Festival 5K Run/Walk
The course follows a bike trail through Eldora on an out-and-back route, so you retrace the same path back to the start. The surface is paved trail, and the surroundings are the kind of small-town streets and green space you pass on a casual ride. It runs alongside a half marathon happening at the same time, so there is more activity on course than the distance alone would suggest.
Race-morning registration is open until shortly before the gun, and packet pickup is available the evening before or early on race day. A warm breakfast is part of the post-race spread at the finish area.

The Pine Lake Festival 5K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 10, 2026.
