About average for Missouri half marathons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 1:53:58, against 1:57:25 in a typical Missouri half marathon, 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 March 20 the day usually runs from 37°F at dawn to 59°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 25% of days. Cold snaps dip to 24°F and hot years reach 74°F.
