Faster than most Maryland half marathons
The fastest quarter of the 2025 half marathon field finished under 1:48:44, against 1:55:46 in a typical Maryland half marathon, so times here run 6 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.
Around December 19 the day usually runs from 32°F at dawn to 46°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 20% of days. Cold snaps dip to 21°F and hot years reach 57°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.
