About the Run for the Mums 5k

The course winds through Tipp City neighborhoods and out along the Great Miami River recreational trail, with gently rolling terrain and open scenery. It runs rain or shine, and the route has a water stop at the midpoint and restrooms at both the start and finish. The race is tied to the Tipp City Mum Festival, and proceeds support local youth recreation programs.

Packet pickup is available the two days before the race at the TMCS office on Main Street, with race-morning registration and pickup at the park roundhouse. Results are announced after the finish at the high school football stadium adjacent to the park. Headphones and pets are not permitted on the course.

Common Questions About the Run for the Mums 5k

Will I finish last at the Run for the Mums 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:27, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:34, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Run for the Mums 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 270 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 Run for the Mums 5k?

The 5K winner ran 16:39 while the median finisher took 31:27. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
