This is a pirate-themed race with several distance options, all chip timed. The course has water stations spread out along the route, and the half marathon has a pace requirement, so it is not a race where you can take it entirely at your own speed.
Pickup is on race morning, with doors opening roughly an hour before the gun. A pre-race-day option may be added later, but morning pickup is the default plan.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

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 Oct 25, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:15, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:37, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (47 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 19:57 while the median finisher took 40:15. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
