Slower than most Georgia 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 31:31, against 29:30 in a typical Georgia 5K, 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.
Around October 17 the day usually runs from 51°F at dawn to 73°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 9% of days. Cold snaps dip to 42°F and hot years reach 80°F.
