Slower than most Pennsylvania 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 28:12, against 27:10 in a typical Pennsylvania 5K, so times here run 4 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.
Around November 26 the day usually runs from 26°F at dawn to 38°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 23% of days. Cold snaps dip to 19°F and hot years reach 47°F.
