About average for North Carolina 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 29:06, against 28:39 in a typical North Carolina 5K, so times here are about average.
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 October 3 the day usually runs from 66°F at dawn to 76°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 15% of days. Cold snaps dip to 56°F and hot years reach 81°F.
Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
