About the Twins Tot Walk/Run 5K

The race is held at South County Regional Park and is built around a real purpose: raising awareness and funds for children's water safety. The chip-timed run and a separate reflective vigil walk run on the same morning, so the event carries a quieter, more deliberate weight than a typical road race. Strollers and leashed dogs are permitted, starting toward the back for safety.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at the park, with race-morning pickup available as well. After the run, IHOP brings pancakes and sausage to the finish line. A moment of silence, a guest speaker, and the vigil walk follow the run, so plan to stay a while if that part matters to you.

Common Questions About the Twins Tot Walk/Run 5K

Will I finish last at the Twins Tot Walk/Run 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:12:15, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Twins Tot Walk/Run 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 216 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Twins Tot Walk/Run 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:16 while the median finisher took 41:51. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
