How fast is it?

About average for Louisiana 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 28:46, against 28:43 in a typical Louisiana 5K, so times here are about average.

  • 1 Mile: Slower than most Louisiana 1-mile races. The fastest quarter of the 2025 1-mile race field finished under 12:06, against 9:40 in a typical Louisiana 1-mile race, so times here run 25 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 25 the day usually runs from 48°F at dawn to 68°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 28% of days. Cold snaps dip to 40°F and hot years reach 79°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.
