About the 18th Annual Young and Wyld 5K Race

The course runs on mostly flat village streets in Honeoye Falls, the kind of older downtown grid where you pass storefronts and quiet residential blocks in quick succession. The race benefits Young Life, a teen-focused organization, so there is some purpose behind the entry fee beyond the run itself.

Registration and bib pickup both happen at the race site before the start, so you can show up that evening without having sorted anything in advance. Post-race, there are root beer floats and pizza on hand.

Common Questions About the 18th Annual Young and Wyld 5K Race

Will I finish last at the 18th Annual Young and Wyld 5K Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 30:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:20:04, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 18th Annual Young and Wyld 5K Race a good first 5K?

It is a small race (53 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 18th Annual Young and Wyld 5K Race?

The 5K winner ran 17:12 while the median finisher took 30:54. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
