How fast is it?

Faster than most Oregon 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2026 5K field finished under 25:58, against 29:29 in a typical Oregon 5K, so times here run 12 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around July 4 the day usually runs from 54°F at dawn to 79°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 3% of days. Cold snaps dip to 50°F and hot years reach 92°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.
