About the 50th Annual Boys & Girls Club Selma Railroad Run 5K
The course starts and finishes at a downtown street corner, runs out through a residential neighborhood, and turns around near a fire truck parked outside a church. It is certified and the terrain is flat road the whole way. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and there is a short kids' run that goes off just after the main wave.
Packet pickup details will come from the organizers closer to race day. The start area sits where two downtown streets meet, easy to find and a good way to get a feel for the neighborhood before the gun goes off.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 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.
