How fast is it?

About average for US half marathons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:55:58, against 1:54:37 in a typical US half marathon, so times here are about average.

  • 5K: Slower than most US 5Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 31:24, against 28:55 in a typical US 5K, so times here run 9 percent slower.
  • 10K: Slower than most US 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 56:17, against 54:18 in a typical US 10K, so times here run 4 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.
