About the Rescue Me 5K
The course starts and finishes at Basecamp Brewing, a natural gathering point that makes the post-race part easy. The route is flat, which suits anyone looking to run fast or just run comfortably through the area. The race benefits a volunteer wilderness search and rescue organization that covers the surrounding mountains and lakes region.
Bib pickup happens race morning at Burgeon Outdoors, and day-of registration is there as well. Parking is at a nearby grocery store. After the race, Basecamp Brewing hosts a post-race gathering with a raffle, and awards go to the top finishers in each gender.

The Rescue Me 5K has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
