How fast is it?

Slower than most Missouri 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 33:46, against 29:53 in a typical Missouri 5K, so times here run 13 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.
