About the Run Like The Dickens
The course runs on paved streets through downtown Holly, mostly flat with good markings. Roads stay open to traffic during the race, and there is a railroad crossing on the route, so expect a brief pause if a train happens through. It has the feel of a neighborhood road race, not a closed-course event.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at the school gymnasium, with morning pickup opening well before the start. The race begins and finishes at Holly Middle School, which gives you a clear home base for warming up and meeting people after.

The Run Like The Dickens has been held every year since at least 2013. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
