5K: Faster than most Arizona 5Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 27:10, against 30:59 in a typical Arizona 5K, so times here run 12 percent faster.
1 Mile: Faster than most Arizona 1-mile races. The fastest quarter of the 2025 1-mile race field finished under 8:35, against 10:22 in a typical Arizona 1-mile race, so times here run 17 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.
