Faster than most Texas 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2024 5K field finished under 27:21, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 5K, so times here run 9 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.
