About the Ubly Homecoming 5K

The route leaves the town's public works yard, loops through residential streets and past local storefronts, and finishes on a walking path inside Veterans Park. It is a road race through a small community, and the park finish gives the end of the race a different feel from the streets that come before it.

Awards are presented under the park pavilion after both the run and walk conclude. There are refreshments at the finish line, restrooms inside the pavilion, and portable facilities on site. Race-morning registration is available, with a window that closes before the start.

Common Questions About the Ubly Homecoming 5K

Will I finish last at the Ubly Homecoming 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 27:39, and the last recorded finisher came in around 54:28, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Ubly Homecoming 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (98 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Ubly Homecoming 5K?

The 5K winner ran 17:02 while the median finisher took 27:39. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
