How fast is it?

Slower than most US 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 30:54, against 29:52 in a typical US 5K, so times here run 3 percent slower.

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.
