About the Slicer Performing Arts Club (SPArC) 5K Run and Walk

The route starts at the high school, winds through the surrounding neighborhoods, passes through Kesling Park, and loops back to where it began. It is a road course with a straightforward out-and-back shape through residential streets, and the proceeds support the school's performing arts programs.

Parking is in the lots at the high school, with access from a couple of different streets depending on which lot you use. The start and finish are both on site, so there is no shuttle and no hunting for your car afterward.

Common Questions About the Slicer Performing Arts Club (SPArC) 5K Run and Walk

Will I finish last at the Slicer Performing Arts Club (SPArC) 5K Run and Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 39:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:30, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Slicer Performing Arts Club (SPArC) 5K Run and Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (65 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 Slicer Performing Arts Club (SPArC) 5K Run and Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:43 while the median finisher took 39:51. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
