How fast is it?

About average for Virginia 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 28:31, against 28:55 in a typical Virginia 5K, so times here are about average.

  • 10K: Faster than most Virginia 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2025 10K field finished under 51:03, against 53:41 in a typical Virginia 10K, so times here run 5 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 November 26 the day usually runs from 38°F at dawn to 56°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 20% of days. Cold snaps dip to 29°F and hot years reach 64°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.
