How fast is it?

Faster than most US 1-mile races

The fastest quarter of the 2025 1-mile race field finished under 6:20, against 9:49 in a typical US 1-mile race, so times here run 35 percent faster.

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 October 16 the day usually runs from 58°F at dawn to 78°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 12% of days. Cold snaps dip to 46°F and hot years reach 88°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.
