About the Chili Run - February

The race starts and finishes at Carolina Blue Smokehouse and Taproom in Pitman. The course is short and runs through the area around the restaurant, with the caveat that icy patches are possible in winter, so there is no water stop out on the route. Strollers are welcome, and the whole thing wraps up quickly enough that the post-race crowd is still lively.

Packet pickup happens race morning at Carolina Blue, in the stretch before the start. After you finish, the restaurant provides chili, with vegetarian and meat options, and a beer for those of legal age. Awards for overall winners, age groups, and team categories follow not long after. A DJ keeps things going if you want to stick around.

Common Questions About the The Chili Run - February

Will I finish last at the Chili Run - February?

Almost certainly not. Half the 2 Miles field finished slower than 20:33, and the last recorded finisher came in around 33:11, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Chili Run - February a good first 2 Miles?

It is a small race (128 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 2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Chili Run - February?

The 2 Miles winner ran 11:18 while the median finisher took 20:33. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
