How fast is it?

Slower than most Texas 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 34:38, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 5K, so times here run 15 percent slower.

  • Half Marathon: About average for Texas half marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 half marathon field finished under 2:03:15, against 2:01:59 in a typical Texas half marathon, so times here are about average.
  • Marathon: Slower than most Texas marathons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 marathon field finished under 4:33:12, against 4:15:54 in a typical Texas marathon, so times here run 7 percent slower.

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 March 12 the day usually runs from 59°F at dawn to 72°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 21% of days. Cold snaps dip to 47°F and hot years reach 79°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.
