How fast is it?
Slower than most US trail 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 51:25, against 31:03 in a typical US trail 5K, so times here run 66 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.
