How fast is it?

Slower than most Texas 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 31:57, against 30:02 in a typical Texas 5K, so times here run 6 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.
