About the Run The Hill 5K

The course runs through the grounds of Osawatomie State Hospital, a campus with open views that give the route some visual breathing room. The race supports mental health awareness, and that purpose shapes the mood of the morning more than the terrain does. There is one real climb in the name, so expect some elevation.

Packet pickup happens the morning of the race, in the window just before the start. There is no separate day-before option, so plan to arrive with enough time to get your bib and warm up.

Common Questions About the Run The Hill 5K

Will I finish last at the Run The Hill 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 41:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:04, 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 The Hill 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (30 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 The Hill 5K?

The 5K winner ran 22:39 while the median finisher took 41:08. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
