How fast is it?
Faster than most US 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 25:39, against 28:55 in a typical US 5K, so times here run 11 percent faster.
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.
