How fast is it?

Faster than most North Carolina 5Ks

The fastest quarter of the 2025 5K field finished under 27:10, against 28:39 in a typical North Carolina 5K, so times here run 5 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 November 7 the day usually runs from 46°F at dawn to 65°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 10% of days. Cold snaps dip to 35°F and hot years reach 76°F.

Based on 70 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
