About the Raceway 5K

The course runs on an actual road racing track, which makes this feel unlike most road 5Ks. You are on a smooth, purpose-built circuit rather than a neighborhood street or trail. The 5K takes a couple of laps around the track, so the finish area stays close the whole time. The shorter distance option follows the same surface.

Packet pickup runs on the two evenings before the race at a local running store called Runnin Gear, with race-morning pickup available at the track itself. Post-race food and drinks are set out after you finish, and awards go to the top overall finishers as well as age group placers.

Common Questions About the Raceway 5K

Will I finish last at the Raceway 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 28:04, and the last recorded finisher came in around 52:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Raceway 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (136 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 Raceway 5K?

The 5K winner ran 19:00 while the median finisher took 28:04. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
