About the Spivey Hill Challenge

The course earns its name. Spivey Hill sits in the middle of the route, and getting over it is the point. The race is dedicated to three people who shaped the Graham community, so the hill carries some meaning beyond the climb. Shorter options run alongside the main distance, including a children's fun run and a walk for those moving at their own pace.

Packet pickup is the evening before the race at a local church on Indiane Street. Awards go to the top finishers overall and across a full spread of age groups.

Common Questions About the Spivey Hill Challenge

Will I finish last at the Spivey Hill Challenge?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 29:37, and the last recorded finisher came in around 58:08, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Spivey Hill Challenge a good first 5K?

It is a small race (95 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 Spivey Hill Challenge?

The 5K winner ran 15:57 while the median finisher took 29:37. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
