About the Rachel & Friends 5k

This race is put on by an organization that runs day programs for adults with developmental disabilities, and the event itself reflects that purpose. There is a shorter distance option alongside the main run, and a kids' fun run gets things started before the field takes off. The awards go deep into age groups, with gift cards for the overall winners.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly 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 Rachel & Friends 5k

Will I finish last at the Rachel & Friends 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 51:58, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:22, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Rachel & Friends 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (56 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Rachel & Friends 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:56 while the median finisher took 51:58. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
