About the Walk Across Sumner 5k and Fun Run

This is an evening race through Triple Creek Park, running along the greenway near the soccer fields. The course is lit up with glow sticks and blacklights, so the whole thing has a different feel than a daytime road race. It benefits physical education programs at local schools, and there is a walking campaign in the weeks beforehand that gives participants a BINGO activity sheet to complete.

The race starts at the large pavilion in Triple Creek Park. BINGO sheets from the pre-race walking campaign can be turned in on race day, and finishing one puts you in the running for a prize drawing.

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 Walk Across Sumner 5k and Fun Run

Will I finish last at the Walk Across Sumner 5k and Fun Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 43:36, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:44, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Walk Across Sumner 5k and Fun Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (59 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Walk Across Sumner 5k and Fun Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 22:45 while the median finisher took 43:36. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
