About the Stampede In The Park 5K and Fun Run

This race runs through a park in Lilburn and benefits a local high school cross country program. The proceeds go directly to the team, so the field tends to draw people who have some connection to the school, whether as runners, parents, or neighbors rooting for the program.

Age group winners take home gift cards to a local running store, which keeps the awards practical. A food truck from a Mexican restaurant is part of the post-race scene, along with support from a range of local businesses and sponsors who show up in force.

Common Questions About the Stampede In The Park 5K and Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Stampede In The Park 5K and Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:05:20, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Stampede In The Park 5K and Fun Run a good first 5K?

It is a small race (100 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Stampede In The Park 5K and Fun Run?

The 5K winner ran 19:26 while the median finisher took 32:32. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
