How fast is it?

Slower than most New York half marathons

The fastest quarter of the 2025 half marathon field finished under 2:02:31, against 1:54:19 in a typical New York half marathon, so times here run 7 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around October 3 the day usually runs from 51°F at dawn to 69°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 19% of days. Cold snaps dip to 43°F and hot years reach 78°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.
