About the SPRING SPRUNG 5k-10k 10K Ruck and Half Marathon
The course runs through Queeny Park on gravel trails that roll and wind through tree cover. The terrain moves along at a good clip for trail running, shaded for most of the route, with distance options from a short race up through a half marathon, plus a ruck option if you carry weight. Aid is available at the lap point, and the course is fully marked.
Everything starts from the park pavilion, which serves as the race village. Music plays there before and after, and there is a podium ceremony once runners finish. Packet pickup is race morning, and the organizers suggest arriving early to keep the line moving before the start.

The SPRING SPRUNG 5k-10k 10K Ruck and Half Marathon has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
