How fast is it?
Faster than most Florida 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 28:36, against 29:59 in a typical Florida 5K, so times here run 5 percent faster.
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 7 the day usually runs from 64°F at dawn to 82°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 9% of days. Cold snaps dip to 53°F and hot years reach 86°F.
