About the Cinnamon Bun Fun Run and 5K

The course starts behind an elementary school and winds through Veterans Park before heading out onto town streets, finishing at the rear of a bakery. The route has a couple of loops in the park, then turns through the main drag before arriving at Hadley Farms, where the post-race gathering is. There is also a shorter point-to-point option that follows the same general path.

Packet pickup and registration are at the pavilion in Veterans Park before the start. Parking is spread across several spots nearby, including the school lots, street parking on Main Street, and spaces at the police department and the park itself.

Common Questions About the The Cinnamon Bun Fun Run and 5K

Will I finish last at the Cinnamon Bun Fun Run and 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 36:39, and the last recorded finisher came in around 54:18, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Cinnamon Bun Fun Run and 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (111 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 Cinnamon Bun Fun Run and 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:15 while the median finisher took 36:39. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
