ABOUT 5K SPORTS
OUR STORY
Built on Experience. Focused on What Matters.
For more than 30 years, 5K Sports Race Management has been helping organizations throughout Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and New England create successful, professionally managed races.
Jim McCorkle founded 5K Sports on a simple idea: exceptional race management should be experienced, dependable, and affordable. Through careful planning and decades of hands-on experience, Jim developed an approach that delivers the services race directors need while helping organizations make the most of their event budgets.
That matters especially for the nonprofits, schools, charities, and community organizations we serve. When race management costs are kept reasonable, more of the money raised can stay where it belongs—supporting the organizations and causes behind the race.
More than three decades later, that philosophy still guides 5K Sports: provide exceptional service, treat every event with care, and build lasting relationships with the people and communities we serve.
Because a successful race isn't just measured by the finish line—it's measured by the impact it leaves behind.
THE TEAM BEHIND THE FINISH LINE
Experience You Can Count On. People You Can Trust.
Behind every successful 5K Sports event is a team that understands what it takes to make race day happen. Jim and Vicki bring decades of experience, hands-on knowledge, and a personal approach to every event they manage.
From the first conversation through the final finisher, they work alongside race directors, organizations, volunteers, and communities to keep the details organized and the experience running smoothly.
For Jim and Vicki, it's more than managing races—it's about building relationships and helping create events people look forward to year after year.
