How fast is it?
Slower than most Pennsylvania 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 28:55, against 27:10 in a typical Pennsylvania 5K, so times here run 6 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.
