About the Rice Festival 5K Run
The course runs through the heart of the Rice Festival grounds, starting and finishing near the main festival platform. It is a road race set in the middle of an active street fair, so the atmosphere comes from the event around it as much as from the runners themselves. Cold drinks and fresh fruit are at the finish.
Packet pickup and race-morning registration both happen at the start area before the gun goes off, so there is no separate pre-race trip to make. The race benefits the cross country and track program at Northside Christian School.

The Rice Festival 5K Run has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 24, 2026.
