How fast is it?

Slower than most California 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 32:44, against 30:43 in a typical California 5K, so times here run 7 percent slower.

  • 10K: Faster than most California 10Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2025 10K field finished under 52:31, against 56:15 in a typical California 10K, so times here run 7 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.
