About the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum 5K Run

The course starts and finishes at the Lighthouse, looping through the village streets and out to the beach before returning. It is a point-to-point-and-back shape, so you get a good look at the waterfront. The terrain is flat and the route passes through a small lakeside village, which keeps things quiet and scenic without any serious climbing.

Several parking areas serve the race: grassy lots a couple of blocks south of the Lighthouse, village lots near the fire hall and the baseball field, and a lot at the beach end of Wickham Boulevard. Some streets along the course are closed to parking on race morning, so check the posted signs and give yourself a little extra time.

Common Questions About the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum 5K Run

Will I finish last at the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum 5K Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:09, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum 5K Run a good first 5K?

A field of 394 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 Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum 5K Run?

The 5K winner ran 17:40 while the median finisher took 33:09. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
