About the Stop Drop and Roll 5K

The race starts and finishes at a fire station, which sets the tone for the whole morning. The course is a road run through Summerfield, and the post-race draw is warm chili served right there at the station.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at the fire station, with race-morning pickup available as well. Parking is at the elementary school just down the road.

Common Questions About the Stop Drop and Roll 5K

Will I finish last at the Stop Drop and Roll 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 36:13, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:14:23, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Stop Drop and Roll 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (107 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 Stop Drop and Roll 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:23 while the median finisher took 36:13. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
