About the St. Matthew's 5K Run/Walk
The race starts and finishes at a Lutheran church on Bringle Ferry Road, so the surroundings are quiet and open rather than urban. The course stays close to home, looping back to where the morning began. A short fun run follows the main event, which makes it a reasonable outing for families with younger kids who want their own moment on the course.
Check-in opens well before the start and takes place at the church itself, so there is no separate packet pickup location to worry about. The timing is handled by a local running club. If weather looks threatening, organizers may delay the start rather than cancel outright, though they reserve the right to pull any portion of the event if conditions become unsafe.

The St. Matthew's 5K Run/Walk has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
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 23, 2026.
