How fast is it?
Slower than most US duathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2025 duathlon field finished under 1:41:49, against 1:20:51 in a typical US duathlon, so times here run 26 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 May 8 the day usually runs from 45°F at dawn to 75°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 16% of days. Cold snaps dip to 40°F and hot years reach 87°F.
Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
