About the Roseburg Optimist 5 K RUN/WALK

The course winds through Stewart Park with zombies stationed at intervals along the route. Each one is locked to a zone but can give chase, so the pressure comes in bursts rather than all at once. Runners wear a flag on their hip, and whether a zombie takes it or not changes how you finish, though either way you keep going.

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 23, 2026.

Common Questions About the Roseburg Optimist 5 K RUN/WALK

Will I finish last at the Roseburg Optimist 5 K RUN/WALK?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 35:45, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:10, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Roseburg Optimist 5 K RUN/WALK a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (84 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Roseburg Optimist 5 K RUN/WALK?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:21 while the median finisher took 35:45. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
