About the Vampire Run - Unite for Bleeding Disorders

The course runs on trails in Roseville, with a costume element baked into the spirit of the event. Capes and vampire teeth are encouraged, and the crowd skews festive in that direction. The race benefits the bleeding disorders community, so there is a purpose behind the morning beyond the run itself.

After finishing, there is a community festival with carnival games, crafts, face painting, and a coffee cart with donuts and snacks. A remembrance ceremony for the bleeding disorders community takes place mid-morning, giving the event a quieter moment before the rest of the day wraps up.

Common Questions About the Vampire Run - Unite for Bleeding Disorders

Will I finish last at the Vampire Run - Unite for Bleeding Disorders?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:04, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Vampire Run - Unite for Bleeding Disorders a good first 5K?

It is a small race (92 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 Vampire Run - Unite for Bleeding Disorders?

The 5K winner ran 18:27 while the median finisher took 37:32. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
