Slower than most US trail 8Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2022 8K field finished under 1:00:01, against 50:16 in a typical US trail 8K, so times here run 19 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.
Around October 17 the day usually runs from 44°F at dawn to 61°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 21% of days. Cold snaps dip to 38°F and hot years reach 73°F.
