Common Questions About the Red Rose Run

Will I finish last at the Red Rose Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5 Miles field finished slower than 48:11, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:48:02, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Red Rose Run a good first 5 Miles?

With 1,839 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Red Rose Run?

The 5 Miles winner ran 23:04 while the median finisher took 48:11. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
