About the Woodland Creek Memorial Day 5K

The course runs clockwise through a residential neighborhood, looping into several smaller side streets before returning to the lodge parking lot where it started. The route is on paved roads with police at the entrance for traffic control, and the surroundings are quiet subdivision streets. It reads like a neighborhood run more than a road race, which suits the setting.

Packet pickup happens at the lodge over the two days before the race, with a race-morning option as well. Parking is spread across nearby side streets rather than a single lot. After the finish, there are donuts, fruit, and beer for those of legal age, plus a raffle, a bounce house, and yard games.

Common Questions About the Woodland Creek Memorial Day 5K

Will I finish last at the Woodland Creek Memorial Day 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 31:42, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:09, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Woodland Creek Memorial Day 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 268 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Woodland Creek Memorial Day 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:48 while the median finisher took 31:42. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
