How fast is it?
Slower than most US 10-mile races
The fastest quarter of the 2022 10-mile race field finished under 1:30:56, against 1:24:00 in a typical US 10-mile race, so times here run 8 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.

Around May 15 the day usually runs from 50°F at dawn to 71°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 24% of days. Cold snaps dip to 41°F and hot years reach 81°F.
