About the St. Chris 2 Miler Run/Walk

The course runs through neighborhood streets near St. Christopher Church, starting and finishing at the church itself. It is flat the whole way, with no real hills to speak of, which makes it a quick morning out for most paces. The race benefits the local food pantry, and that purpose is pretty front and center in how the event is framed.

There are refreshments and door prizes at the finish. Registration opens race morning before the start, so you do not have to sort everything out ahead of time.

Common Questions About the St. Chris 2 Miler Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the St. Chris 2 Miler Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 2 Miles field finished slower than 20:39, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:34, 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. Chris 2 Miler Run/Walk a good first 2 Miles?

It is a small race (137 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 2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the St. Chris 2 Miler Run/Walk?

The 2 Miles winner ran 9:34 while the median finisher took 20:39. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
