About average for North Carolina 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 28:12, against 28:39 in a typical North Carolina 5K, so times here are about average.
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 April 3 the day usually runs from 48°F at dawn to 70°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 23% of days. Cold snaps dip to 40°F and hot years reach 83°F.
