About the Silos St Patricks Day 5k

The course starts and finishes in downtown Easley, centered on Old Market Square near the clock tower. It is an urban route through the heart of town, flat enough for most paces, and the square gives spectators a natural gathering spot at the start and finish. This race also opens the Pickens County 5k Race Series, so you will see some regulars chasing series points.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at The Silos, with a race-morning option at the start in Old Market Square. After the race, awards are handed out at The Silos, which is a short walk from the finish. Cash prizes go to the top finishers, and age group awards are spread across narrow intervals.

Common Questions About the The Silos St Patricks Day 5k

Will I finish last at the Silos St Patricks Day 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:56, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:10:33, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Silos St Patricks Day 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 403 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Silos St Patricks Day 5k?

The 5K winner ran 16:57 while the median finisher took 35:56. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
