Prepare for a unique test of pacing and intuition at the Stasny Road Racing 5K Prediction Race, returning to Austinburg, Ohio, on Sunday, April 26, 2026. This distinctive 5K event revives a beloved tradition, challenging runners to predict their finish time during registration and then run the course without any external timing devices. Leave your watches, GPS, and phones at home; success hinges on your internal clock and an understanding of your own pace. Awards await the top five participants who cross the finish line closest to their predicted time, making this a true mental and physical challenge for all skill levels.

Stasny Road Racing, led by veteran race director Chris Stasny, is committed to providing a positive and accurately timed experience for every participant, building on a history of well-managed events in Ashtabula County. As you tackle the 5K distance, you can anticipate typical race day conditions in late April, with historical highs around 62°F and lows around 40°F, accompanied by a low 14% chance of precipitation. This creates a comfortable environment for runners to focus entirely on their prediction strategy and enjoy the camaraderie of this special event.
