Faster than most California 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 26:51, against 30:43 in a typical California 5K, so times here run 13 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.
Around November 26 the day usually runs from 44°F at dawn to 59°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 8% of days. Cold snaps dip to 39°F and hot years reach 68°F.
