About the 11th Annual Shea's Chase 5K Run & Walk

The course starts and finishes at the Stacks outside a restaurant called Kau, set within Revolution Mills, a converted historic mill complex. From there it loops through the surrounding mill neighborhoods before circling back, so you get a mix of the industrial campus and the older residential streets nearby. The terrain reads as mostly flat urban running.

The finish drops you right back where you started, so the post-race gathering is built into the spot. Revolution Mills has enough going on architecturally that it makes for an interesting backdrop, even on the return leg.

Common Questions About the 11th Annual Shea's Chase 5K Run & Walk

Will I finish last at the 11th Annual Shea's Chase 5K Run & Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 44:47, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:10:26, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 11th Annual Shea's Chase 5K Run & Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 249 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 11th Annual Shea's Chase 5K Run & Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:19 while the median finisher took 44:47. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
