How fast is it?
About average for US 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 28:21, against 28:55 in a typical US 5K, so times here are about average.
- 10K: Faster than most US 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 52:23, against 54:18 in a typical US 10K, so times here run 4 percent faster.
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.
