How fast is it?

Slower than most US trail 15Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 15K field finished under 2:03:16, against 1:33:44 in a typical US trail 15K, so times here run 32 percent slower.

  • 10K: Slower than most US trail 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 1:27:21, against 1:02:44 in a typical US trail 10K, so times here run 39 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.
