How fast is it?

About average for Texas 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 29:49, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 5K, so times here are about average.

  • Half Marathon: Faster than most Texas half marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:54:21, against 2:01:59 in a typical Texas half marathon, so times here run 6 percent faster.
  • 10K: About average for Texas 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 57:23, against 57:11 in a typical Texas 10K, 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around March 20 the day usually runs from 52°F at dawn to 73°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 12% of days. Cold snaps dip to 40°F and hot years reach 85°F.

Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
