About the We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM 5K

The race ends with ice cream, and that is genuinely the point. The course runs out of Olan Thomas Park, so the finish line and the crowd are right there in the park when you get back. The name is not a gimmick; post-race is built around the treat.

Bib pickup happens at Olan Thomas Park the evening before the race, wrapping up before dark. Parking is in the Lang Development office lot up the hill from Timothy's restaurant. The walk from the lot to the park is short, and leaving the Timothy's spaces open for their customers is part of the ask.

Common Questions About the We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM 5K

Will I finish last at the We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 31:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:39, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 240 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM 5K?

The 5K winner ran 18:38 while the median finisher took 31:46. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
