About the St. Andrew the Apostle 10K/5K/Fun Run

The course runs out and back through a tree-lined residential neighborhood, starting from the school parking lot. A long straightaway carries you most of the way out before the route turns onto a quieter side road. The pavement is smooth throughout, and the rolling hills give the course some shape without making it brutal. The 10K has a climb worth noting.

Packet pickup is the evening before at the Parish Hall, with race-morning pickup available at the school parking lot where the event is based. A kids' fun run on the athletic field wraps up the morning, with color stations along the way.

Common Questions About the St. Andrew the Apostle 10K/5K/Fun Run

Will I finish last at the St. Andrew the Apostle 10K/5K/Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 29:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 49:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the St. Andrew the Apostle 10K/5K/Fun Run a good first 5K?

It is a small race (86 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 St. Andrew the Apostle 10K/5K/Fun Run?

The 5K winner ran 18:44 while the median finisher took 29:59. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
