How fast is it?

Slower than most California 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 38:20, against 31:42 in a typical California 5K, so times here run 21 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around October 24 the day usually runs from 53°F at dawn to 78°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 3% of days. Cold snaps dip to 49°F and hot years reach 88°F.
