How fast is it?

About average for Georgia 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 29:24, against 29:30 in a typical Georgia 5K, so times here are about average.

  • Half Marathon: Slower than most Georgia half marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:59:55, against 1:54:35 in a typical Georgia half marathon, so times here run 5 percent slower.
  • Marathon: Faster than most US marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 marathon field finished under 3:44:11, against 3:52:43 in a typical US marathon, so times here run 4 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 January 30 the day usually runs from 40°F at dawn to 58°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 19% of days. Cold snaps dip to 25°F and hot years reach 73°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.
