About the 18th Annual Sevathon 2026 - 5K, 10K, Tiny Trots, 1K, Virtual Runs & Yoga

The Sevathon is rooted in the idea of service, connecting runners with nonprofit organizations they choose to support at registration. The race takes place at Baylands Park, and the longer distance does a couple of loops, so faster runners pass back through the field near the end. Yoga is on the schedule alongside the running events, which gives the morning a different texture than most races.

Packet pickup runs the two days before the race, with a window the afternoon before and another the morning of that day. Race-day pickup is also available at the registration booth, but the organizers suggest arriving early to leave time for check-in before your wave.

Common Questions About the 18th Annual Sevathon 2026 - 5K, 10K, Tiny Trots, 1K, Virtual Runs & Yoga

Will I finish last at the 18th Annual Sevathon 2026 - 5K, 10K, Tiny Trots, 1K, Virtual Runs & Yoga?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 45:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:45:52, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 18th Annual Sevathon 2026 - 5K, 10K, Tiny Trots, 1K, Virtual Runs & Yoga a good first 5K?

A field of 239 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.

How competitive is the 18th Annual Sevathon 2026 - 5K, 10K, Tiny Trots, 1K, Virtual Runs & Yoga?

The 5K winner ran 17:26 while the median finisher took 45:17. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
