How fast is it?
About average for US half marathons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:54:42, against 1:54:37 in a typical US half marathon, so times here are about average.
- 5K: About average for US 5Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 28:35, against 28:55 in a typical US 5K, 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.
