About the 19th Annual St. Patrick's Day 5K, 1M Fun Run, 200M Kiddie Dash

The course is an out-and-back through the streets of historic downtown Denton, running past an elementary school along the way. The road is flat, and the route moves quickly with little in the way of real climbing. Chip timing handles the results, and age group awards go deep, with custom overall prizes on top of that.

The race is organized by Caroline County Recreation and Parks, with proceeds going toward scholarship programs that send local kids to summer camps and activities. Packet pickup and start-line details follow the organizer's standard race-morning setup, and water is available at the turnaround stretch as well as at the start and finish.

Common Questions About the 19th Annual St. Patrick's Day 5K, 1M Fun Run, 200M Kiddie Dash

Will I finish last at the 19th Annual St. Patrick's Day 5K, 1M Fun Run, 200M Kiddie Dash?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:28, and the last recorded finisher came in around 55:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 19th Annual St. Patrick's Day 5K, 1M Fun Run, 200M Kiddie Dash a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (128 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 19th Annual St. Patrick's Day 5K, 1M Fun Run, 200M Kiddie Dash?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:44 while the median finisher took 34:28. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
