How fast is it?

Slower than most Washington 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 34:19, against 30:04 in a typical Washington 5K, so times here run 14 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 May 16 the day usually runs from 47°F at dawn to 62°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 24% of days. Cold snaps dip to 42°F and hot years reach 73°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.
