About the Stout Stumble 5K

The course starts at the marina and winds through the streets of the village before finishing on the Village Green. It is a casual route through a small lakeside town, where storefronts and side streets do most of the scenery work. All paces are welcome, and the finish pulls you straight into an Oktoberfest celebration with food, music, a classic car show, and beer for those of age.

Check-in opens race morning at the marina, and there is also a pre-race check-in option the evening before at a chamber of commerce office a short distance down the same street. After the race, the Oktoberfest festivities continue around the village, so there is no rush to leave.

Common Questions About the Stout Stumble 5K

Will I finish last at the Stout Stumble 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:48, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:08, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Stout Stumble 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 208 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Stout Stumble 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:53 while the median finisher took 37:48. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
