How fast is it?
About average for Florida 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 29:06, against 29:59 in a typical Florida 5K, 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.
