Common Questions About the Spooky Sprint - Cincinnati

Will I finish last at the Spooky Sprint - Cincinnati?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:31:42, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Spooky Sprint - Cincinnati a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (193 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Spooky Sprint - Cincinnati?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 15:25 while the median finisher took 37:21. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
