How fast is it?
Slower than most US 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 30:59, against 28:55 in a typical US 5K, so times here run 7 percent slower.
- Half Marathon: About average for US half marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:54:03, against 1:54:37 in a typical US half marathon, so times here are about average.
- 10K: About average for US 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 55:05, against 54:18 in a typical US 10K, so times here are about average.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
