How fast is it?
About average for Pennsylvania 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 27:46, against 27:10 in a typical Pennsylvania 5K, 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around November 7 the day usually runs from 40°F at dawn to 58°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 19% of days. Cold snaps dip to 33°F and hot years reach 70°F.
Based on 70 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
