How fast is it?
Slower than most US trail half marathons
The fastest quarter of the 2025 half marathon field finished under 2:40:59, against 2:16:23 in a typical US trail half marathon, so times here run 18 percent slower.
- 50K: About average for US trail 50Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2024 50K field finished under 6:07:03, against 6:08:34 in a typical US trail 50K, so times here are about average.
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.
