How fast is it?
Slower than most New Jersey 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 28:22, against 27:09 in a typical New Jersey 5K, so times here run 5 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around November 21 the day usually runs from 36°F at dawn to 52°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 21% of days. Cold snaps dip to 28°F and hot years reach 62°F.
