About the Warriors of Hope - Irene's 5K

The race is held at Meyer Park in Spring, a gathering centered on stomach cancer awareness in memory of Irene Aragon, who passed from gastric cancer. The course is a standard road distance through the park, suitable for runners and walkers alike. A kids' fun run runs alongside the main event, and a virtual option exists for those who cannot be there in person.

Packet pickup is offered the evening before the race at the park's north pavilion, with race-morning pickup at the south pavilion. Both are at the same address, so there is no separate trip to a running store or distant location.

Common Questions About the Warriors of Hope - Irene's 5K

Will I finish last at the Warriors of Hope - Irene's 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:31, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:48, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Warriors of Hope - Irene's 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (163 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 Warriors of Hope - Irene's 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 0:09 while the median finisher took 34:31. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
