How fast is it?
Faster than most California 10Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 51:30, against 56:15 in a typical California 10K, so times here run 8 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around May 15 the day usually runs from 49°F at dawn to 73°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 7% of days. Cold snaps dip to 38°F and hot years reach 80°F.
