UNCW I Am CHHS 5K

Wilmington, NC

Registration openAnnual since at least 2024

About the UNCW I Am CHHS 5K

The course winds through a university campus, routed around the Allied Health Sciences Quad. It is a run-walk-friendly event, with both an in-person timed option and a virtual option for those who cannot make it out that morning. The surroundings are campus grounds, so expect paved paths and open quad space rather than trails or road traffic.

Registration closes just before the gun, and there is an on-site option if you decide late, though you will need your phone to scan a QR code and register digitally. The race benefits the College of Health and Human Services Student Success Center, which funds advising, scholarships, and emergency financial support for students.

Common Questions About the UNCW I Am CHHS 5K

Will I finish last at the UNCW I Am CHHS 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:29, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:16:34, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the UNCW I Am CHHS 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 303 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 UNCW I Am CHHS 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:42 while the median finisher took 34:29. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
