About the Precarious Beer Hall's Anniversary 5K

The course runs through Colonial Williamsburg, on cobblestone streets past colonial-era buildings and historic landmarks. It is a scenic route in a setting most runners do not get to move through at pace, and the character of the surroundings does most of the work.

After the finish, the race returns to Precarious Beer Hall for breakfast, music, and craft beverages. There is a post-race gathering rather than a quick dispersal, which gives the morning some room to breathe.

Common Questions About the Precarious Beer Hall's Anniversary 5K

Will I finish last at the Precarious Beer Hall's Anniversary 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:41, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:31, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Precarious Beer Hall's Anniversary 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 657 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 Precarious Beer Hall's Anniversary 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:45 while the median finisher took 35:41. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
