About the Runnin' Against Multiple Sclerosis 5k

This race runs on behalf of a student-run organization on the University of Missouri campus. The organizers are upfront that you may be running through snow, rain, or cold, though they are quick to note it could feel like summer. Either way, the cause behind it, funding supplies and equipment for people living with MS, is felt throughout the morning.

Packet pickup happens the morning of the race at the start, so there is no separate trip to make the day before. The address puts you right on campus, where parking options are close by.

Common Questions About the Runnin' Against Multiple Sclerosis 5k

Will I finish last at the Runnin' Against Multiple Sclerosis 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 36:37, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Runnin' Against Multiple Sclerosis 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 481 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Runnin' Against Multiple Sclerosis 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:59 while the median finisher took 36:37. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
