About the Tromptown Half Marathon & 5K

The Tromptown Half Marathon and 5K runs out of De Ruyter, a small town where the race has been going long enough to feel like a local institution. The half marathon draws a crowd that leans toward people who know each other. Post-race, there is a pancake breakfast for half marathon runners, and the weekend overlaps with the town's Fireman Field Days.

Packet pickup happens race morning at the start area, which keeps things simple. You can pick up for others if needed.

Common Questions About the Tromptown Half Marathon & 5K

Will I finish last at the Tromptown Half Marathon & 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:08:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 3:45:08, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Tromptown Half Marathon & 5K a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (59 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 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Tromptown Half Marathon & 5K?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:20:46 while the median finisher took 2:08:43. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
