About the Stamp Out Hunger 5K

The course winds through a historic section of Medford, starting and finishing in front of the Public Safety Building on Union Street. The route is certified, which means the distances are measured accurately, and the surroundings feel more like a neighborhood run through an older part of town than a loop around a parking lot.

Packet pickup happens at a local ShopRite on the weekend before the race, with race-morning pickup available at the start. Parking is not at the Public Safety Building itself; a medical building next door and a nearby park both have spaces.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Stamp Out Hunger 5K

Will I finish last at the Stamp Out Hunger 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:46, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Stamp Out Hunger 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 389 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 Stamp Out Hunger 5K?

The 5K winner ran 16:10 while the median finisher took 31:54. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
