About the Sprint for Super Saturdays 5K

The race starts and finishes at Braintree Town Hall, which puts you right in the civic center of town. The course is a road 5K, straightforward enough that a wide range of people turn out. The race benefits Super Saturdays, a local program that brings together residents with special needs for weekly social and recreational activities, and that purpose is evident in the atmosphere.

After crossing the finish, participants head to a nearby tavern for a buffet spread and a raffle. It gives the morning somewhere to go after you are done running, and most people seem to stick around for it.

Common Questions About the Sprint for Super Saturdays 5K

Will I finish last at the Sprint for Super Saturdays 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:33, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Sprint for Super Saturdays 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 283 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 Sprint for Super Saturdays 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:02 while the median finisher took 42:59. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
