About average for California 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2024 5K field finished under 31:25, against 31:42 in a typical California 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.
Around February 20 the day usually runs from 47°F at dawn to 66°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 20% of days. Cold snaps dip to 40°F and hot years reach 79°F.
