Finish-time statistics for 3 years of The 21st Annual Beaufort River Swim and 5K Run in Beaufort, South Carolina, aggregated from official results. Names are not published here.

How fast is it?

Slower than most US 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 1:01:46, against 29:52 in a typical US 5K, so times here run 107 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.
