About the Randolph Pack the Pantry 5K Run/Walk

The course loops out from the community center parking lot on North Street, opening with an uphill on Pleasant Street and saving a gentle downhill for the return. There is one more real climb near the end of Truman Drive, so the legs get tested twice before the finish comes into view.

Packet pickup happens race morning at the community center, with a cutoff before the start. Parking is in the lot off North Street, toward the back of the building, with overflow available down the road. The race also collects non-perishable food donations before the gun, with pantry staples like pasta, peanut butter, and canned goods especially welcome.

Common Questions About the Randolph Pack the Pantry 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Randolph Pack the Pantry 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:28, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:19, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Randolph Pack the Pantry 5K Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 236 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 Randolph Pack the Pantry 5K Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:11 while the median finisher took 37:28. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
