How fast is it?

Slower than most California 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 34:13, against 31:42 in a typical California 5K, so times here run 8 percent slower.

  • 10K: About average for US 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2025 10K field finished under 53:39, 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around October 25 the day usually runs from 54°F at dawn to 75°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 5% of days. Cold snaps dip to 49°F and hot years reach 87°F.

Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
