Common Questions About the The Core of Scottsville and Med Center Health 5K

Will I finish last at the Core of Scottsville and Med Center Health 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 31:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 52:12, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Core of Scottsville and Med Center Health 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (69 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 Core of Scottsville and Med Center Health 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 22:27 while the median finisher took 31:51. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
