About the RRRC First Day 5K
The course runs through the Roxshire neighborhood and is flat the whole way, which makes it a reasonable shot at a personal best if your legs are willing on New Year's Day. It is a road race, and the organizers ask that you leave headphones behind, which means you are mostly listening to other runners and whatever quiet a holiday morning brings.
Bibs can be picked up the day before at a local running shop, with race-morning check-in inside ACAC Midlothian as the backup option. The start is right there at the facility, so you are not hunting for a parking lot in a field somewhere.

The RRRC First Day 5K has been held every year since at least 2011. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
