How fast is it?

About average for US 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 28:25, 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.
