How fast is it?

About average for Indiana 5Ks

  • 10K: About average for Indiana 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2025 10K field finished under 54:45, against 54:45 in a typical Indiana 10K, so times here are about average.
  • Half Marathon: Faster than most Indiana half marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2025 half marathon field finished under 1:45:59, against 1:53:02 in a typical Indiana half marathon, so times here run 6 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.
