How fast is it?

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.

Typical race-day weather

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.

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.
