About the UNC Health Southeastern 5K, 10K & Fun Mile
The course runs flat the whole way, certified and measured, through what is part of a larger street festival called Rumba on the Lumber. There is live music, arts and crafts, and food trucks woven into the weekend, so the race sits inside something bigger than a typical road event. Both distance options draw competitive runners; there is prize money on the line for overall and masters finishers.
Early check-in happens the evening before during the Food Truck Extravaganza, which is worth knowing if you want to skip the morning lines. Day-of check-in opens before the gun. After the race, there is a Chili Roundup with unlimited tastings, open to all participants who ran either distance.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The UNC Health Southeastern 5K, 10K & Fun Mile has been held every year since at least 2022. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
