How fast is it?
Slower than most Virginia 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 30:59, against 28:55 in a typical Virginia 5K, so times here run 7 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around November 26 the day usually runs from 33°F at dawn to 53°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 17% of days. Cold snaps dip to 25°F and hot years reach 62°F.
