Switzerland County YMCA - Larry Tolbert 5K

Switzerland County YMCA - Larry Tolbert 5K is held in Vevay, Indiana, on October 31, 2026, and is organized by the Switzerland County YMCA. The single format is a 5K, 3.1 miles, with a 10:00 a.m. start, late enough that you are not getting up in the dark to make it.

A mid-morning gun gives you time to eat a real breakfast, digest it and warm up without rushing; finish eating about two and a half hours out and jog for ten minutes before the start. As for the racing, treat the distance as a short, hard effort rather than a long one. The last mile is where a 5K is won or lost, so hold enough back through the middle to be able to push there. Three or four runs a week for a month is base enough.
