About the Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run

The course runs out and back along the Wildwood Greenway, a paved path that passes through bridges and tunnels before looping back to the start. It is a road race with a trail feel, starting from a farmers market area the organizer calls Racers Village. The shorter option turns back early; the longer one continues out for a bigger loop.

Packet pickup is race morning before the start. After finishing, runners head to Wildwood Pub for a complimentary drink and food from their menu. There is music at the start area, and the post-race setup at the pub gives the morning a bit of a St. Patrick's Day party feel.

Common Questions About the The Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 39:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:43, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run a good first 4 Miles?

It is a small race (37 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 4 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Saint PATRICKS day 5K/10K Fun Run?

The 4 Miles winner ran 27:06 while the median finisher took 39:54. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
