How fast is it?

Faster than most Texas 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 26:46, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around November 7 the day usually runs from 55°F at dawn to 74°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 13% of days. Cold snaps dip to 43°F and hot years reach 82°F.
