Some of the junior college races can be slow,at least comparitively so.So can some division 3 NCAA'S.
I’d say some of the slowest I’ve seen was like19min 5000m for men d2/d3

Not college but HS - saw a boy get lapped in the 800...
Getting lapped in an 800?
Talk about humiliating, lol.
I have no stories like this from college... but I like this topic.
400 - teammate ran 98 at a dual meet. this is not a typo.
800 - Different teammate ran a 3:12 as a joke. He was laughing during the race as the coaches and other teammates yelled for him to go faster. It was just about the funniest thing I've ever seen at a track meet.
1600 - No absurdly slow times but I did lap multiple people at my district meet. The race was tactical, won in high 4:30s, so these guys were well over 6. Some schools just didn't care about distance I guess.
5k XC - some guy "ran" 51 minutes. it was a tough course, but god damn!

I know this is different to what the thread's asking but I've seen people at local fun runs take 70+ minutes for 5K. Always thought it was disrespectful to volunteers who took time out of their day to organise the event then they had to wait an extra half an hour for someone to crawl around the course.
Have done multiple 4-lap 5K's where a few of us have lapped people 3 times! Why even attend the 'fun-run' I always wondered. Surely just go for a walk instead?
We have a local 4 lap relay race around a lake (each lap is like 4 miles). Old dude shows up with a walker and starts shuffling along the course. Managed to finish his lap just as the last of the 4th legs were finishing, everyone let out a huge cheer as he approached the finishing line.
OK. I like this. I'll try not to be so judgemental.
Not the slowest, but I once watched two guys in an indoor college mile at Arkansas State in about 1988 stop after 500m and get in an all out fight. Punches thrown and connected in lane 4. One finished. One didn't. Guessing the guy who finished ran slower than 5:15.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
