Slower than most US trail 50Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 50K field finished under 8:01:39, against 6:08:34 in a typical US trail 50K, so times here run 31 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.
