Common Questions About the River's Edge Endurance Challenge

Will I finish last at the River's Edge Endurance Challenge?

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 2:43:30, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:31:50, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the River's Edge Endurance Challenge a good first race?

It is a small race (26 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 race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the River's Edge Endurance Challenge?

The race winner ran 1:02:57 while the median finisher took 2:43:30. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
