How fast is it?

Faster than most New York 1-mile races

The fastest quarter of the 2024 1-mile race field finished under 6:20, against 8:44 in a typical New York 1-mile race, so times here run 27 percent faster.

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 September 4 the day usually runs from 63°F at dawn to 78°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 29% of days. Cold snaps dip to 56°F and hot years reach 85°F.

Based on 76 days within a week of the date over the last 6 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
