How fast is it?

Faster than most Virginia 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 22:16, against 28:55 in a typical Virginia 5K, so times here run 23 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.
