About the VEGA Mason 5K

The race is held on the campus of a corporate headquarters, which gives it a distinct setting compared to a park or road course. It benefits the Children's Tumor Foundation, and the connection to the company that hosts it is genuine, with employees, their families, and local runners all showing up together for the same cause.

Parking is on-site at the campus. After the race, there is a post-race celebration with food, drinks, and live music, making it worth sticking around once you cross the finish line.

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 Oct 25, 2026.

Common Questions About the VEGA Mason 5K

Will I finish last at the VEGA Mason 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 48:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:55, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the VEGA Mason 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (118 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 VEGA Mason 5K?

The 5K winner ran 20:15 while the median finisher took 48:26. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
