About the Strides for Adam 5K

This race is a memorial event held in honor of Adam Holten, a young man lost to suicide, and the morning carries that weight in a quiet, purposeful way. The course starts at the Riverview Community Center and draws runners and walkers alike. The race supports scholarships for high school graduates pursuing careers in service to others, so the field tends to reflect that sense of purpose.

Packet pickup happens at a local running store in Southgate in the days before the race, with race-morning pickup available at the community center. The awards ceremony follows shortly after the finish, covering overall and age group categories for the run as well as separate recognition for walkers.

Common Questions About the Strides for Adam 5K

Will I finish last at the Strides for Adam 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 29:52, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:07, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Strides for Adam 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (156 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 Strides for Adam 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:55 while the median finisher took 29:52. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
