About the Will Run for Food 5K
The course runs along Centenary Church Road, starting and finishing at Centenary United Methodist Church. It is a road race on a named rural road, so expect a straightforward out-and-back feel through the countryside. Dogs are not permitted on the course with runners.
Race-morning registration opens well before the start and takes place at the church. The race benefits a local food bank, and the organizers collect canned goods on race day, so bringing something from the pantry is part of the culture here. Cash prizes go to the top overall finishers in the main race.

The Will Run for Food 5K has been held every year since at least 2016. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
