About the Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity's Race to Build Hope

The Race to Build Hope runs through Livingston to raise money for a local Habitat for Humanity build. The course is open to runners, walkers, strollers, wheelchair users, and dogs on leashes, so the field tends to be a genuine cross-section of the area rather than a purely competitive crowd.

Packet pickup runs the day before at a couple of local spots in town. The start area opens early in the morning, with the race itself going off shortly after check-in closes.

Common Questions About the Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity's Race to Build Hope

Will I finish last at the Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity's Race to Build Hope?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 41:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:16, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity's Race to Build Hope a good first 5K?

It is a small race (80 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 Upper Cumberland Habitat for Humanity's Race to Build Hope?

The 5K winner ran 34:11 while the median finisher took 41:59. That spread points to a relatively quick field, so expect a competitive front end.
