How fast is it?

Slower than most US trail 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 32:49, against 31:03 in a typical US trail 5K, so times here run 6 percent slower.

  • 15K: Faster than most US trail 15Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2025 15K field finished under 1:23:22, against 1:33:44 in a typical US trail 15K, so times here run 11 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 October 4 the day usually runs from 65°F at dawn to 86°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 4% of days. Cold snaps dip to 59°F and hot years reach 98°F.
