About the Wellen Park Half Marathon & 5K
Both courses run through Downtown Wellen Park on fully paved roads. The terrain is flat throughout, which makes for consistent pacing whether you are pushing hard or just finding a rhythm. The half marathon route is USATF certified and has aid stations with water, sports drink, and energy gels spaced along the way. Dogs on short, fixed leashes and strollers are welcome on either course.
Packet pickup is held the two evenings before the race at Solis Hall, the same building where the race starts and finishes, with a race-morning option as well. Parking is spread across the downtown area, and volunteers with signs are stationed along the approach roads to direct you in. Post-race food and drinks are available at the finish.

The Wellen Park Half Marathon & 5K has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
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.
