How fast is it?
Slower than most California 10Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 10K field finished under 1:05:35, against 56:15 in a typical California 10K, so times here run 17 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 August 15 the day usually runs from 56°F at dawn to 75°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 0% of days. Cold snaps dip to 54°F and hot years reach 83°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.
