Philadelphia, PA
This race is held on the campus of Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, raising money for the university's center focused on autism education and support. There is a short run option and a walking option, so people show up with strollers, with dogs, with grandparents. The vibe is more charity morning than race morning, though divisional awards go to top finishers in the run.

The Saint Joseph's University Kinney Walk/Run for Autism has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 27:16, and the last recorded finisher came in around 46:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 248 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.
The 5K winner ran 16:48 while the median finisher took 27:16. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
