How fast is it?

Slower than most Ohio 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 29:31, against 28:16 in a typical Ohio 5K, so times here run 4 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.
