About the Timberfest 5K

The course winds through a residential neighborhood on an out-and-back route with rolling hills throughout. It is not flat, but nothing on it is punishing either. The hills come at you periodically, so you get a chance to settle between them. There is a water stop at the turnaround point, and traffic is managed along the way.

Registration is available on race morning via a QR code scan, so no paper forms are accepted. Having your phone or the registration link ready before you arrive will save time at check-in.

Common Questions About the Timberfest 5K

Will I finish last at the Timberfest 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5000m field finished slower than 29:35, and the last recorded finisher came in around 53:22, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Timberfest 5K a good first 5000m?

It is a small race (148 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 5000m, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Timberfest 5K?

The 5000m winner ran 16:44 while the median finisher took 29:35. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
