About the Sharin' O' The Green 5k

The course runs point-to-point from a downtown park to Odell Brewing, and the whole thing tilts gently downhill, which makes for a fast, easy-feeling effort. You are running toward a brewery finish, so there is some built-in motivation. The surroundings are urban Fort Collins, and the St. Patrick's Day timing means the crowd along the way skews festive.

Because the route is one-way, the organizers run a bag truck from the start to the finish so you can check warm layers and collect them after. Parking is in the downtown area near the start, and the walk back to your car from the brewery is short enough to serve as a cooldown. There is a beer garden and live music waiting at the finish.

Common Questions About the Sharin' O' The Green 5k

Will I finish last at the Sharin' O' The Green 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:16, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:14:12, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Sharin' O' The Green 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 728 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 Sharin' O' The Green 5k?

The 5K winner ran 14:38 while the median finisher took 34:16. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
