About the St Leo - Run Leo 5K, 10K, and John Hanson Fun Run

The courses are USATF certified and run through the streets around St. Leo Catholic School. Both distance options are measured road courses, so runners who care about accurate splits will appreciate that. The fun run gives younger or newer participants a shorter option on the same morning.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at the school, with a pre-race dinner happening at the same time. Morning pickup is also available before the races begin. Parking fills the school lot behind the building, with street parking nearby; arriving early helps if you are running the later start.

Common Questions About the St Leo - Run Leo 5K, 10K, and John Hanson Fun Run

Will I finish last at the St Leo - Run Leo 5K, 10K, and John Hanson Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:40, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:42, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the St Leo - Run Leo 5K, 10K, and John Hanson Fun Run a good first 5K?

A field of 440 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 St Leo - Run Leo 5K, 10K, and John Hanson Fun Run?

The 5K winner ran 16:45 while the median finisher took 33:40. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
