About the Run for Tourette 5K

This race was started by a young man who has Tourette Syndrome himself, and the money raised goes to the Tourette Association of America to support research and awareness. That origin gives the morning a specific weight. People are there because they know someone with Tourette's, or they are that someone.

The course runs through Winton Woods, a Hamilton County park. Parking is free for registered participants. Others may need a county motor vehicle permit to enter the park, which can be purchased at the gate on race day.

Common Questions About the Run for Tourette 5K

Will I finish last at the Run for Tourette 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 43:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:36, 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 Tourette 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (103 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Run for Tourette 5K?

The 5K winner ran 21:00 while the median finisher took 43:57. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
