Fennville, MI
The Wild Goose Chase runs through downtown Fennville as part of the town's Goose Festival, so the streets have more going on than a typical race morning. There is a kids' run alongside the main event, which brings out families and gives the start area a different energy than a standalone road race. Chip timing handles the results.

The Wild Goose Chase 5K and Gosling Run has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 27:33, and the last recorded finisher came in around 50:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (102 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.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:07 while the median finisher took 27:33. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
