How fast is it?

Slower than most US 15Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2024 15K field finished under 1:58:14, against 1:20:57 in a typical US 15K, so times here run 46 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 April 17 the day usually runs from 38°F at dawn to 58°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 32% of days. Cold snaps dip to 28°F and hot years reach 75°F.
