About average for Texas 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 30:02, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 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 January 1 the day usually runs from 52°F at dawn to 70°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 24% of days. Cold snaps dip to 35°F and hot years reach 80°F.
