About the Strawberry Sprint 5K and Fun Run
The course is an out-and-back that starts near Richard Wood Park, heads south along a county road, and passes open fields, historic homes, and a cemetery before reaching the turnaround. The return trip has a gentle uphill stretch. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and the whole thing is hand-timed, which keeps the morning pretty unpretentious.
This race is part of Thorsby's Strawberry Fest, so there is a festival atmosphere around it. Registration and check-in are at Richard Wood Park, with walk-up registration available race morning by cash or mobile payment. Profits go to a local high school running team, so the entry fee goes somewhere specific and local.

The Strawberry Sprint 5K and Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
