About the RCRWC Broughton Trail Race

The course runs through wooded trails at Broughton Nature Park, starting on grass near a bike path. The opening stretch climbs a hill, then the terrain settles out for the rest of the loop, which winds back to where you started. It is a true trail run through forest, not a groomed path.

Packet pickup opens at a covered pavilion close to the start on race morning, well ahead of the gun. There are a couple of water stations out on the course, one early and one roughly in the middle of the loop.

Common Questions About the The RCRWC Broughton Trail Race

Will I finish last at the RCRWC Broughton Trail Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5 Miles field finished slower than 1:05:39, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:11:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the RCRWC Broughton Trail Race a good first 5 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 5 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the RCRWC Broughton Trail Race?

The 5 Miles winner ran 40:57 while the median finisher took 1:05:39. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
