How fast is it?
Faster than most New Jersey 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 25:24, against 27:09 in a typical New Jersey 5K, 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around October 11 the day usually runs from 49°F at dawn to 67°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 17% of days. Cold snaps dip to 44°F and hot years reach 76°F.
