How fast is it?
Slower than most Georgia 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 33:02, against 29:30 in a typical Georgia 5K, so times here run 12 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.
