How fast is it?
Faster than most South Carolina 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 24:26, against 28:28 in a typical South Carolina 5K, so times here run 14 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.
