Storrs Mansfield, CT
This is a campus 5K put on by a student nutrition club, open to the general public. The proceeds are split between a local soup kitchen and the club itself, so the entry fee goes somewhere tangible.
Race-morning bib pickup is available if spots remain, and an awards ceremony follows shortly after the finish. Parking is limited, which is worth keeping in mind if you are driving in.

The UConn Nutrition Club 5k has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 43:38, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (23 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.
The 5K winner ran 23:05 while the median finisher took 30:08. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
