Presidents' 5k Run/ Walk

Fremont, OH

Registration openAnnual since at least 2024

About the Presidents' 5k Run/ Walk

The course runs out and back from Spiegel Grove, the historic estate at the heart of the race's presidential theme. The terrain is straightforward with no significant climbing, and the out-and-back shape means you pass through the same scenery twice, which gives you a read on your pace heading home.

Race-day registration opens inside the Museum before the start, so there is a warm place to sign in if you skip the mail-in option. Discount tickets for a museum and house tour are available on race day, which makes it worth arriving a little early if you want to explore after you finish.

Common Questions About the Presidents' 5k Run/ Walk

Will I finish last at the Presidents' 5k Run/ Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:41, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:20:27, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Presidents' 5k Run/ Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (67 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. 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 Presidents' 5k Run/ Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:44 while the median finisher took 37:41. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
