How fast is it?
Slower than most Arizona 5Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 42:45, against 30:59 in a typical Arizona 5K, so times here run 38 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.
