How fast is it?

About average for Ohio half marathons

The fastest quarter of the 2025 half marathon field finished under 1:51:27, against 1:53:18 in a typical Ohio half marathon, so times here are about average.

  • 5K: Faster than most Ohio 5Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 27:22, against 28:16 in a typical Ohio 5K, so times here run 3 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.
