About the 7th Annual WIT 5K

The course runs through Blount Cultural Park, giving the route open space and room for spectators. The race is a fundraiser for a nonprofit working to end period poverty, so the field draws people there for the cause as much as the clock. A shorter fun walk runs alongside the main event, and a virtual entry is available for those who cannot attend in person.

Packet pickup happens the afternoon before at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, with a second window on race morning at the park before the start. Both options give you flexibility depending on how close you are cutting it.

Common Questions About the 7th Annual WIT 5K

Will I finish last at the 7th Annual WIT 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:13:05, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 7th Annual WIT 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (120 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 7th Annual WIT 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:04 while the median finisher took 41:42. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
