Common Questions About the 5th Annual Rocket Man Pole Vault Lake Norman Half Marathon Wildman 10K & 5K

Will I finish last at the 5th Annual Rocket Man Pole Vault Lake Norman Half Marathon Wildman 10K & 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 1:56:48, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:28:27, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 5th Annual Rocket Man Pole Vault Lake Norman Half Marathon Wildman 10K & 5K a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (59 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 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 5th Annual Rocket Man Pole Vault Lake Norman Half Marathon Wildman 10K & 5K?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:22:17 while the median finisher took 1:56:48. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
