About

The Walterville Waddle is a 5K (3.1 miles) road race in Springfield on September 11, 2027, with an 8 a.m. start. With a single race on the schedule and an early start, it has the feel of a short, no-fuss local race.

The 5K is a great distance for a first race: a few weeks of regular running is enough to finish it, and the effort is short enough that it won't linger the next day. More experienced runners can use it as an honest pace test, as long as they warm up properly, since at this distance the race is decided in the first few hundred yards.
