Slower than most US trail half marathons
The fastest quarter of the 2025 half marathon field finished under 2:37:27, against 2:16:23 in a typical US trail half marathon, so times here run 15 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.
