Common Questions About the San Diego Miles for Melanoma 5k Run

Will I finish last at the San Diego Miles for Melanoma 5k Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 29:41, and the last recorded finisher came in around 55:48, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the San Diego Miles for Melanoma 5k Run a good first 5K?

It is a small race (82 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 San Diego Miles for Melanoma 5k Run?

The 5K winner ran 19:43 while the median finisher took 29:41. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
