About average for North Carolina half marathons
The fastest quarter of the 2025 half marathon field finished under 1:54:10, against 1:55:12 in a typical North Carolina half marathon, so times here are about average.
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 October 4 the day usually runs from 60°F at dawn to 77°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 16% of days. Cold snaps dip to 50°F and hot years reach 81°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.
