About the Races for all Paces

The race takes place at a university stadium in Charleston, with several distance options spread across the morning, from a toddler-friendly dash up to a longer road race. The campus setting keeps everything contained and easy to navigate, with the stadium as a central anchor for the start and finish. Age-group awards go to the top finishers in the longer distances.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2026 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.

Common Questions About the Races for all Paces

Will I finish last at the Races for all Paces?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 42:47, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:30:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Races for all Paces a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 343 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Races for all Paces?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:18 while the median finisher took 42:47. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
