How fast is it?
About average for Washington 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 30:53, against 30:04 in a typical Washington 5K, so times here are about average.
- 10 Mile: Faster than most US 10-mile races. The fastest quarter of the 2025 10-mile race field finished under 1:19:17, against 1:24:00 in a typical US 10-mile race, so times here run 6 percent faster.
- 1 Mile: Slower than most US 1-mile races. The fastest quarter of the 2024 1-mile race field finished under 12:28, against 9:49 in a typical US 1-mile race, so times here run 27 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around March 21 the day usually runs from 40°F at dawn to 55°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 38% of days. Cold snaps dip to 34°F and hot years reach 64°F.
Based on 90 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
