Construction Crawl 5K: The Final Stretch

Construction Crawl 5K: The Final Stretch takes place in Mansfield, Ohio on October 24, 2026. The single event on the schedule is a 5K (3.1 miles) that starts at 1:00 p.m., an unusually late slot for a race this short and one that gives you a full morning to eat, hydrate and warm up properly before you line up.

Expect a road 5K, which makes it a straightforward pick whether you are running your first timed race or using the distance as a fitness check late in the fall. Runners going for a personal best usually get there on a short build: six weeks of easy mileage with one weekly session of 5K-pace repeats and a few strides. If you are walking it, treat the 3.1 miles as a steady hour and settle into a rhythm from the first block.
