Ashland 5K
Ashland 5K race day weather
Warm start, high humidity
A warm 70°F start means heat management is critical — consider dialing back your goal pace by 10-20 sec/mi. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. High humidity (91%) will make it harder to cool down through sweat — increase fluid intake accordingly.

About the Ashland 5K
The Ashland 5K covers 3.1 miles through the neighborhoods around downtown Ashland, Virginia, and the Randolph-Macon College campus. It runs on the Saturday of race weekend alongside the half marathon, in the same small railroad town. The shorter distance suits first-time racers, walkers and families who want the Ashland course atmosphere without the half marathon's rolling hills and long stretches of open farm road.
