How fast is it?

Faster than most Texas 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 28:10, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 5K, so times here run 6 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 May 2 the day usually runs from 58°F at dawn to 85°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 1% of days. Cold snaps dip to 53°F and hot years reach 91°F.

Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
