About the Sprout 5K

The course runs on the grounds of a working farm venue in Ashburn, and that setting gives the morning a different feel from a typical road race. The route is flat and open, with the start and finish in the same spot. The race benefits a therapeutic riding center nearby, so the crowd tends to include families and people connected to that community.

Packet pickup is the afternoon before at the same farm venue, with race-morning pickup opening well before the start. Post-race, the venue provides food and drinks on site.

Sprout 5K 2025 Results

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.

Common Questions About the Sprout 5K

Will I finish last at the Sprout 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:57, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:27, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Sprout 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 220 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 Sprout 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:23 while the median finisher took 34:57. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
