Slower than most Ohio 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 30:56, against 28:16 in a typical Ohio 5K, so times here run 9 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.
Around November 7 the day usually runs from 39°F at dawn to 55°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 13% of days. Cold snaps dip to 30°F and hot years reach 66°F.
Based on 70 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
