Pig Pounders 5K

Pig Pounders 5K is run on April 11, 2027 in Greensboro, North Carolina. There is a single distance, a 5K (3.1 miles), and the start is unusually late for a road race: 1:00 p.m.

An early-afternoon gun is the detail to plan around. Have a normal breakfast, then a small, familiar snack around three hours before the start, and expect warmer conditions than a dawn race would give you in April — that alone is worth a few seconds a mile, so pace the first half by effort and pass people in the last mile rather than the first. The distance itself asks little in the way of preparation: a month of running three or four times a week, with one weekly session of faster repetitions, puts you in decent shape for it.
