About the SUMMER SPLASH 5K

The course runs out and back along a paved trail that heads east from Badger Mountain Community Park, turning around where the trail crosses a road. It is flat, wide, and open. A kids' dash runs a short loop around the park's fields and splash pad for younger participants, untimed and free to enter.

Registration and number pickup open early on race morning at the park. After you finish, water and snacks are at the finish line, and the splash pad right there in the park is the obvious next move, so bring a towel if you plan to stay.

Common Questions About the SUMMER SPLASH 5K

Will I finish last at the SUMMER SPLASH 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 28:58, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:25, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the SUMMER SPLASH 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (70 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 SUMMER SPLASH 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:38 while the median finisher took 28:58. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
