About the Robin Run

The Robin Run honors a local woman whose focus was encouraging young people, and the entry fees support YMCA programs including youth camps and swimming lessons. The course starts at the Foundation YMCA on Broad Street West, putting the starting line right in the heart of the community the race exists to serve.

Packet pickup happens the evening before the race at the same YMCA location, open to those who pre-registered. Race-morning registration is also available for those who did not register ahead of time.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Robin Run

Will I finish last at the Robin Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:06, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:21:55, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Robin Run a good first 5K?

A field of 268 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Robin Run?

The 5K winner ran 18:09 while the median finisher took 40:06. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
